[Wswss] Tuesday evening 1296 activity (and some 902)

[Jim Klitzing]

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

WA6KLK - CM89, Willits
WZ6X   - CM88, American Canyon
WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
N6KLD  - CM97, San Jose
KD6IRE - CM97, San Jose
NA6XX  - CM97, San Jose
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
KC6SEH - CM98, Broderick
W6IZU  - CM98, Diamond Springs
WA6ZKY - CM98, Placerville

Local propagation on 1296 was "enhanced", most likely due to an inversion.
Stations above 2000 ft or so were weaker, and those under were at least
10db stonger than normal. This extended out to 150 miles or so from my
location, and the path to DM03 and 04 was 'normal' for this time of year.
Local weather here was warmer than normal (in the 70's in February?).

902 was limited to W6QIW and myself this week, and signals were pretty good.

73, Jim
