Dismal conditions for the long-hauls tonight, everyone was weaker; Steve,
I can hear you tossing that Hepburn report all the way up here.

Locally, we had more luck with backscatter for the Sacramento Valley and
East than with direct path; Bill (WA6QAK) was the only exception, he was
s8 from 4300 ft, but those closer to sea level were better on backscatter.
Len (WA6KLK) reported 'nada' to S. Cal, and rapid QSB on everyone else.

Thanks to all for participating...the mystery continues.
