Again, it was quite an active weekend
. I had very good signals, and good shows, from Shortwave Gold, Powerliner, and Black Bandit (nice international show) and Marconi on Friday (strangely, Marconi was very weak on Saturday). But it was also nice to get some detail from some of the lower powered staions as well. (There was a very good female DJ on Armadillo Sunday night ... couldn't get much detail, but she sounded very enthusiastic).There are 4 logs from 76 m, which is a sign that propogation is starting to shift from summer to fall conditions. This is good news for those of us on this side of the pond, combined with the earlier sunsets.
Thanks to all the ops for the shows.
