LF: Re: TA last night

["Alan Melia" <alan.melia@btinternet.com>]

Hi Walter, I think i worked out that whilst the path to Joe was very similar to that to John and Warren the distances were such that Joe probably gets away with one less "hop".

What is quite interesting is to watch the relative strength of John and warrebn they are only about 50 miles apart (I think).....there is often a quite noticable difference in the fade-in / fade-out times.

Interesting stuff this LF propagation !!

Cheers and Happy Christmas de Alan G3NYK

Subject: LF: TA last night

Last night (22-23rd) my sunset 1557, sunrise 0804 - 

 

NA visible 2000 (sunset NA) but only patchy thereafter, disappearing completely at times but visible to 0930. 

 

XKO first visible at 2230 (sunset XKO) and remained so all night until 0900.

 

XES came in strongly at 2345, stayed in until  0900, about 4-6 dB up on XKO.

 

XDW weak from 0030 to 0130, 0430 until 0930.

 

Interesting -

XES, XKO, XDW all best 0500-0600 but NA competely absent at that time.

Seems when NA strong others weak and v-v.

 

Detailed grabs available if anyone wants them
