[Wswss] Tuesday evening 1296 and 902 activities

[Jim Klitzing]

These stations were heard and logged on 1296 here in Northern Cal:

WA6KLK - CM89, Willits
K6QXY  - CM88, Santa Rosa
WZ6X   - CM88, American Canyon
WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
N6KLD  - CM97, San Jose
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
KC6SEH - CM88, Broderick
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
KA6VQV - CM98, Carmichael

Local propagation was average on 1296, and signals to the South were fair;
A few of the regulars were unavailable tonight (so no QRM) :). The WX was
overcast, calm and cool.

On 902 we had WA6QAK, KC6ZWT, W6IZU, KJ6KO, K6IBY, W6QIW and myself.
Signals we good locally; Joe peaked at S4, Steve at around S5. Contacts
for both of them were good for a minute or two, then all gone for 10
minutes or so, then back for another 2. Probably just aircraft, hopefully
tropo will be upon us soon.

Speaking of tropo, Bob (K6QXY) reports that the KH6HME beacons for 6m
through 23cm are back on the air as of today.
