[600MRG] Sunday --> Monday condx

[John Langridge]

Thanks for that Laurence.  Your imagery is perfect.

Yes, in fact I just related in the ON4KST logger about how Ken made it to EU alot last winter while my pings in EU were fewer and further between.. He is only 200 miles north.. go figure...

Good luck with the antenna work.  I do hope the result is that the holes in your box get  much bigger!

73,

John XIQ

Very interesting John - What Ive found here empirically is a very small change in latitude/long be it Geographically or magnetic has a profound difference in prop just over a few hundred Kms. 

I put in as =- sitting inside a  double metal box but with a couple of  small holes drilling in each and if Im lucky I can squint and see out, but only if perfectly aligned, and what I see is pretty limited. Other peoples' drill holes appear to be differently aligned -

My holes appear to be very small :-)

Last night, before the whole neighborhood lost AC power I had warnings of K>4 with "persistence" from NOAA which means normally for me the band will produce poorish results - BUT the word "normally"  is important as we all know the iono is a recalcitrant child and loves to play games, resulting in some really "scratch your bonce" (as we say in the UK) responses to Solar events.

Just getting light here now - hopefully get back into the forest for some more antennae work today....getting cold at night.

The comments below work for me as I was in full sun by the time Rudy made it  but doesn't explain Larry since he is only about 200 miles North of Rudy (I think thats what I recall).  Maybe the latitude is back in play since I think BDQ John was active and he is further north and did not make it. SWPC numbers are better but still not great so maybe its making a big impact.
