[Wswss] Tuesday evening 1296 and 902 activities

[Jim Klitzing]

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

WZ6X   - CM88, American Canyon
K6QXY  - CM88, Santa Rosa
WA6UAP - CM97, San Jose
NA6XX  - CM97, San Jose
NU6S   - CM87, Cupertino
K6MGM  - CM97, San Jose
W6QIW  - DM04, Santa Barbara
K6TSK  - DM03, Anaheim
WA6ZKY - CM98, Placerville
KJ6KO  - CM98, Diamond Springs
WA6QAK - CM98, Pollack Pines
W6IZU  - CM98, Diamond Springs

There were some hot spots if you were not at altitude; W6IZU in particular
was +20db stronger than normal; stations above 3000 ft were quite weak.
The longer path to DM03/04 was unaffected, and signals were good.

902 activity - WA6QAK, W6IZU, WA6ZKY, KC6ZWT, W6QIW and myself; conditions
on this band were better than average with the exception of Pollack Pines
at 4000+ ft; Bill was on the wrong side of an inversion for us on both
bands.

Local weather was clear, calm and cold.
