Signals would be good out to a certain distance and not be heard past that or having a skip zone close in and a good signal further out. It was changing also. The propagation is a big mystery. Always something new happening once in a while. I'll be on tonight again, 507.40kc with 9wpm CW. I am sure the XGR guys will be on with higher power. 73 Mike WE0H /16 mal hamilton wrote: > Never fear Mike Mal is about, but qrl tonite, will be looking out for > you again for hopefully a QSO. > Condx strange around EU tonite. > I worked F6ACU/P and my signal varied from S9 down to NIL in qsb, then > I worked OH1LSQ at a greater distance and the signal was steady at 559 > no qsb, all qso's in normal cw. > Normal CW is more suitable for this band especially when suffering > from QSB, QRS at 1 - 3 sec dot might work in some circumstances. > I have heard signals from over your way in the past both on 500 and > 137 khz, reported at the time. > Will be in touch. > 73 de mal/g3kev
