Hello Ed and LF Group,

The conditions were quite poor over the weekend. I
transmitted on Friday and Saturday, but could copy no
replies.  There was severe power line noise. Also
one half of my LF aerial wire came down in a wind storm
and became entangled in the tree tops. When the WX
gets better, I'll go up the hill with my snow-shoes
and my axe to rectify this problem.  Until then,
it's reduced ERP with  a single 100m wire on 137.777 kHz.

Thanks to RU6LA and OM2TW for their efforts.

Cheers
Joe VO1NA

Dear LF-enthusiasts!

I have returned from a Machta (KN97LN)
Has received much e-mails (TNX!). The summary later...
Some conclusions from last acty: the propagation was very unstable on
a distance up to 3000km at the night but for me there was by a surprise
a very good and stable propagation to daytime (Jan 18)

I made beacons:
Jan 16-17 abt 23-6z 135.922+ QRSS60
Jan 17 at daytime 137.7 QRSS3
Jan 17-18 abt 23-4z QRSS60 with some 30min RX 137.777 in QRSS30
Jan 18 at daytime till abt 12z 137.7 QRSS3
Jan 18-19 22-5z 135.922+ QRSS60

Nothing on 137.777 ;-(
How in Northen America?

Have carried out with Vlad UA6LV some experiments with ANTs on 160/80
(CQ WW 160m at next weekend) - too had surprises

136kHz ;-(
