There was a low 5 mhz MUF over a large area over Iceland. Solar Flux was at 77, the A Index at 6, at K Index a high...

Good Job!!

Congrats on hearing our friend RFB!! Your log is interesting in that your observations correspond to mine pretty well. Like you, I found the signal suddenly good at 0100 UTC. And it stayed in quite readable for about 45 minutes. Before that, it was tough. Good program too!! In the theme of Halloween...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA, 31 October 2010

31 OCTOBER 2010: Awoke just before 0600 UTC. It was unusual in that I was getting a readable signal from 4026 LHH, the best in quite some time, but only a weak carrier from 7610 Amica. Nothing anywhere else. It appeared the MUF was low, but according to the propagation data, it was up to 7 mhz. Figu...

Pirate Report from Dunlo, PA, USA, 17 October 2010

17 OCTOBER 2010: This was the first Sunday morning outing up to the SGLs since last Spring. I was hoping that propagation conditions would be favorable as the geomagnetic field was a bit unsettled in the last 24 hours. In fact there was an M class flare at 1910 UTC Saturday. The data showed a small ...

Free Radio Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 28 March 2010

28 MARCH 2010 : The seemingly decent conditions of Friday night didn’t hold up as it was poor this morning. At home, Amica was weak with no audio detected, however I was getting a bit of audio on LHH. Being that the seasonal window is just about closed, I decided to go out to listen anyway. Besid...

Interesting Conditions!!

Terry, it was interesting how conditions were so different between us on Sunday morning. Yes, it certainly wasn't as good as Saturday night, but Sunday morning was still on the good side of fair here in PA. Its a shame you're still having noise problems. Looks like we're in for a lot of static noise...
