[Jim Klitzing]

These stations were heard and logged in Northern Cal:

WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
N6KLD  - CM97, San Jose
W6GYD  - CM87, San Jose
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
W6IZU  - CM98, El Dorado
K6NC   - CM98, Wilton
KG6HXI - CM98, Wilton
KC6SEH - CM98, Broderick
KJ6KO  - CM98, Diamond Springs
WA6KLK - CM89, Willits
WB6EBR - CM87, Berkeley
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara

The local weather was breezy and in the low 70's, and propagation was
average out to around 150 miles, and even better on the coastal path.
Ralph and Steve were easy SSB contacts, with QSB light until about 8:20;
at that point it was like the door slammed shut. This seems to be a
regular happening around sunset, with signals returning to normal after
about 45 minutes.

902 was decent as well, and contacts were made with AE6EQ (Monday night
schedule) and tonight with WA6QAK and W6QIW.

73 until next week, Jim
