[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
WA6DNR - CM87, San Anselmo
WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
K6HCP  - CM97, Gilroy
NA6XX  - CM97, San Jose
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
KC6SEH - CM98, Broderick
KJ6KO  - CM98, Diamond Springs
W6IZU  - CM98, Diamond Springs
WA6ZKY - CM98, Placerville

Local propagation on 1296 was good, but the long path was poor. No tropo
out there, just aircraft peaks tonight. Weather here was cold and breezy.

902 activity was WA6QAK, W6QIW, myself and KC6ZWT. Norm (ZWT) is running
all of 20mw right now, but is still Q5 over here 100 miles away. He's
working on more power, but in the meantime is showing us how good the band
can be, even with milliwatts. He's using a short loop Yagi just above the
chimney.

No tropo noted tonight here either, just aircraft.

73, Jim
