[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
WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
N6KLD  - CM97, San Jose
NA6XX  - CM97, San Jose
K6MGM  - CM97, San Jose
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
KA6VQV - CM98, Carmichael
W6IZU  - CM98, Diamond Springs

1296 conditions were fair locally, and below normal on the long path
(N6XQ/b was barely detectable just before net).

On 902 we had WA6QAK, W6IZU, KC6ZWT, WA6ZKY, W6QIW and myself. Signals
were about like 1296.

Just an observation about the weekend contest...lots more 222 activity
than before, and several rovers were out there with 902, 1296, 2304 and up
through 10GHz. In this area there were many good operators who avoided
sitting on 144.2, moving off after announcing their QSY
frequency...there's hope for us hams yet :).
