[Wswss] Tuesday evening 1296 and 902 activities

[Jim Klitzing]

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

WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
N6KLD  - CM97, San Jose
NA6XX  - CM97, San Jose
K6MGM  - CM97, San Jose
W6GDM  - CM97, Livermore
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
KC6SEH - CM88, Broderick
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
W6IZU  - CM98, Diamond Springs
WA6ZKY - CM88, Placerville

Local propagation was OK on 1296, fair on the long haul; no evidence of
tropo this time, just aircraft peaks. The local weather was warm (80's)
and calm.

On 902 there was WA6QAK, KC6ZWT, W6IZU, K6IBY, W6QIW and myself. Local
conditions were quite good, with Norm (KC6ZWT) at s9+35, clearly an
inversion at work, as stations higher in altitude than Norm were weaker
than normal. The long path to Joe and Steve was not as good as 1296, just
a couple of short peaks, otherwise nothing.
