[Jim Klitzing]

The following stations were heard and logged on 1296 Tuesday night:

      wa6klk       CM89     Len          Willits
      k6qxy         CM88     Bob         Santa Rosa
      wa6uap     CM97     Pat           San Jose
      kd6ire        CM97     Don         San Jose
      na6xx         CM97     Chuck     San Jose
      k6mgm      CM97     Denny     San Jose
      w6gdm      CM97     Dave       Livermore
      w6qiw        DM04     Steve      Santa Barbara
      k6tsk          DM03     Ralph      Anaheim
      w6cro         DM03     Chuck     Norwalk
      w6cyx         CM87     Bob         San Jose
      kc6seh       CM98     John        Broderick
      wa6qak     CM98      Bill           Pollack Pines

Local conditions were good again, with the usual summertime backscatter; in 
fact, Len (WA6KLK) was stronger to the South than on direct path. As with 
last week, the long paths into DM03/04 were marginal...probably not much 
tropo, just aircraft peaks.

On 902, conditions mirrored 1296. The active stations were KC6ZWT, WA6QAK, 
W6QIW, W6IZU, AE6EQ, and myself. Bill (AE6EQ) is running 500w now into a 
good-sized Yagi array, and is as strong here in CM97 as he is on 222.
