[600MRG] Congratulations, XCR rcvd XIQ, XGP, XSV, VE7BDQ: 630m VK/ZL path lightning

[Merv Schweigert]

Excellent Jim,  yes the hurricane that was approaching to my east,  
dissipated into a
depression,   swung south of the island and is passing between me and 
VK/ZL last
nite and today.
   I see this morning I had logged Alaska also,  and see a JA active, did
not look to see if he was RX or transmitting also,   that path should be 
excellent as its
totally over water, and not much different distance wise as to the west 
coast or JA . Hope to
see a decode from JA soon.
See what the next couple weeks bring.

>     Congratulations to Merv and to XIQ, XGP, XSV, and VE7BDQ received at XCR this morning!  About 80% of Merv's decodes were also inside the VK/ZL time opportunity window that starts about 0830z until N. America stations' local sunrises.
>      As 630m N. Am. TX strengths fall with distance toward HI/VK/ZL, Tstorm noise gets stronger as any storm distance gets closer to RX. VK/ZL/Pacific Tstorm distributions will blank particular nights of the 630m VK/ZL season now until early October.
>       Ocean Tstorm activity between VK and ZL contributes noise to SNR in VK/ZL. It occurred last night during the time opportunity window to VK/ZL.  VK/ZL regional Tstorms sideways to the path can affect SNR at VK/ZL.
