Yes, we still are,, saw also huge noise flour here before we started, but going to close down now..

Hi John (and Alfred),
I just about heard your transmission on this morning 6310 kHz. I had been
listening intermittently to Alfa Lima on 6265 kHz (who was audible, but a
bit noisy and also fading), so after he shut down at about 07.08 I tuned up
to see if I could find your regular tx. Your signal was also weak and fading
badly, but I could at least receive you. I believe that other stations were
also having difficulty, so it would seem that conditions are very poor at
the moment...

Whilst you were playing Mark Knopfler, your sinpo was just : 13222. Because
you were fading in and out so much your sinpo was variable, sometimes you
were lost in the noise and other times not so bad. Let's hope conditions
improve for your "birthday" tx, but due to high solar activity, it would
appear that conditions are not set to get much better soon

BTW... Thanks for your E-card last week, although I havn't got "MS Word" I
was able to transfer it to anothr PC which was able to open it.

73's for now John, and I hope your Birthday tx proves to be a success.

Hello Robin,

Thanks anyway. Indeed bad conditions, I didn't copy Alfa lima on 6265kc! So no short skip, Outside the Netherlands most was terible.

@Alfred, Good you still have your transmitter

John - nice transmission tonight on 52m S7 to S9+10 on the Lowe irregular shallow fading and surprisingly little in the way of atmospheric noise.

Everybody, Sunday was dreadful, on 48 not the worst conditions ever, but certainly up there in the top ten. Could hear alpha lima but only S2 to S3!

Strangely enough, although i rarely listen up there, there have been some amazing openings on 27 megs in the early afternoons. Probably not long enough skip for sporadic e, possibly trophosperic ducting (???) was listening to a maritime mobile portugese station in the atlantic on a yacht at 30dB over S9 on a decidedly deaf receiver on 27megs FM!

So there is stuff going on it's just a bit more difficult at the moment.

Hello Silentky,


thanks for the reception report, Send QSL card later, have to fix one first.
