Some of this might be due to the weaker autumn sun, not giving quite so high a level of absorption in daytime as earlerier in the year. But I suspect we still have the after-effects of the the recent geomagnetic storm to thank. The night-time conditions look poor, with levels barely making the average, and a great deal of very rapidly varying fading. I think this probably signals the "beginning of the end" (as someone once famously said !) of this event. If we do not get any more major storms the conditions should be back to normal by about next weekend. You can't please everybody and this probably means average daytime conditions and improved long distance (4000kms up) nightime conditions. Reports suggest that you have been making good use of the conditions this weekend I have not been activivly listening so I have appended a segment of the LF spots for the last couple of weeks from my local DX Cluster. 136.8 DJ2LF 17-Nov-2001 1741Z 569 Walter JN59->JO42 137.0 DL3FDO 17-Nov-2001 1313Z 559 qso ok1dtn -i am on136.8 137.0 OK1DTN 17-Nov-2001 1310Z 539 in jnt5tw 136.9 DL3FDO 17-Nov-2001 1255Z hrd !! 136.3 DJ7RD 17-Nov-2001 1234Z cq 136.1 OK1DTN 16-Nov-2001 1715Z now strong no cpy 137.0 OK1DTN 16-Nov-2001 1710Z bad swr on 136 !! 136.0 OK1DTN 16-Nov-2001 1709Z 569 pse lsn 137.0!!! 137.1 DJ1YFK 11-Nov-2001 1551Z Fabian 449 JO32QG -> JO42 136.8 DK7SU 11-Nov-2001 1525Z cq, 55 qrn jn49->jo42 136.6 DK6NI 11-Nov-2001 1411Z cq 136.8 DK7SU 11-Nov-2001 1124Z cq 136.7 F6BWO 11-Nov-2001 1122Z cq 136.7 DL3FDO 11-Nov-2001 1055Z cq 136.4 DK6NI 11-Nov-2001 1055Z cq 136.9 OM2TW 11-Nov-2001 0907Z CQ 136.9 OM2TW 11-Nov-2001 0913Z cq cq cq 136.7 DK7SU 11-Nov-2001 0826Z cq 136.6 DK6NI 10-Nov-2001 1807Z cq 136.7 DK6NI 10-Nov-2001 1619Z cq 137.0 DL3FDO 4-Nov-2001 1437Z 136.5 DK6NI 4-Nov-2001 1412Z cq 136.7 DK7SU 4-Nov-2001 1334Z cq 137.7 PA0BWL 4-Nov-2001 1220Z qrss G3NYK de GB7MRS 19-Nov-2001 1140Z > Cheers de Alan G3NYK alan.melia@btinternet.com
