[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
K6MGM  - CM97, San Jose
W6GDM  - CM97, Livermore
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
KA6VQV - CM98, Carmichael
WA6ZKY - CM88, Placerville

Some of the guys had club meetings, business trips, etc. so the turnout on
1296 was pretty good considering the absence of some of our 'regulars'.
Local propagation was also good, but poor down the coast to DM03/04; once
again, no evidence of tropo, just the predictable aircraft peaks. Oddly, I
didn't hear Ralph until I moved off of the normal heading; he was in there
tonight about 5 degrees farther South at 145 true. The local weather was
warm (low 80's) and breezy.

On 902 was WA6QAK, W6IZU, W6QIW and myself. Steve reports that Joe (K6IBY)
was also active on Monday evening. Tuesday evening there was fair
propagation between Steve and myself, about 5 to 6 minutes of comfortable
SSB.
