The sun is slowly retreating Sou= thwards but we are still in Nautical twiglight at best here in Alaska. Nil = returns from 137KHz except JA @ around 5000Kms on QRSS which we havent lost= thru the summer

On 600m =3B DX still coming thru with WSPR2 rx = from stations from 1W ERPish Lower 48 states at over =3B land path >= =3B4000Kms but getting a diode affect with XPQ only getting out to around 2= 700Kms even with my larger ERP =3B _

 =3BI guess if you plot= the sun/iono/shadowing and my launch angle on the tx side compared with in= coming signals it kind of makes sense as not being reciprocal=2C perhaps...= - I got very used to this in the High Arctic on some Polar expeditions=2C = sort of wants me to pull down this tx loop=2C but with about -11dBish "gain= " I cant expect the world but Im going to resist the temptation

The= sun is at best only a couple of hundred miles to my South=2C so some inter= esting geometry. =3B

I saw over 20 active 600m rx/tx stations l= ast night on WSPR2 between both large ponds

Have a nice day
