I have transmitted on 137.774 every night since 6/03 and was hopeful that a recent run of low Kp would enable the ionosphere to recover and hopefully enhance,however last night the index shot up to 4 effectively ruining any improvement there may have been. By the time things recover it will certainly be too light at both ends of the path. So I guess we must let Laurence go to chase more likely DX. Thanks for all the looking and see you next winter. 73 Laurie.
