[600MRG] Sunday --> Monday condx

[John Langridge]

Larry only thing I can figure about not making VK in this session is that Rudy's ping came very late compared to our ZL pings.  If we are trying to preserve that terminator position it would stand to reason that the station on the western end would be further west..  You figure that the VK was  somewhere around 1500 miles west of the ZL.  Probably also helps to be later because like here, the man made noise abates the later it gets usually.


i think I am saying that right.

73. wonder who will be next?  XXM?  The PNW VE contingent?  XPQ?

Besides the spot mentioned by John below, both Rudy /20 and myself were 
heard down under:

  2014-09-01 12:36      WD2XSH/20      0.475682      -25      0      CN83lu      20

ZL2AFP      RF91ah      11372      225



Interesting that Rudy was copied by the VK and John and I were copied by 
thew ZL. don't really know what to make of that.....

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.

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:

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.
