[600MRG] Sunday --> Monday condx

[John Langridge]

I was prepared to say it was not a very good night.  Eric XJM and I kinda stalled a bit at 0700z to see if things would improve.  It was hard to really put ones finger on what was "wrong" with the band.  There was a major wx/noise maker in KS and Ken XXM had commented that it was pretty tough copy for him in OK, which was evidenced by a period of no reports of my signal.  I went back to bed at 0845z with the intention of checking the band again at 1000z.

At 1000z, the band sounded about the same, maybe a little improvement.  I stayed about 5 minutes and see this morning that Eric commented that he thought the condx were improvings about 2 minutes after I had left.  I suppose that is for the best that I missed him because had I hung around and we had snuck off for a CW QSO, this would have been missed:

Thanks to Ken XXM for pointing this one out.  As its a holiday, I am not doing anything very quickly this morning so it would have been later today before I figured it out.  Anyway, that is later than the VK2DDI spot from last monday morning... Seems sunday nights ->monday mornings are in the sweet spot at the moment.

73 and happy labor day!
