It is fascinating how easy it is to make a one-hop sky-wave transmission on the 136kHz band (say up to 2500km), even in poor conditions, but how difficult it is to make the next one. I will continue with the overnight transmission for a few days until the wind or rain makes it unsafe to do so. On the topic of safety, a couple of weeks ago I watched a falling leaf catch on my vertical wire and it started to smoke! regards Mike ==== > Mike, > > Nothing last night, except for some weak traces after 0700. > > John, W1TAG > > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2016.0.7924 / Virus Database: 4664/13500 - Release Date: > 11/29/16 >
