I can't hear either Fox tonight. One is in New York and the other is in Wisconsin. However, the Russian "D" beacon is quite loud, as are some stations that I am hearing from Cuba and Brazil.
Maybe the strange propagation is tied to the weather (not!) ? It was close to 60F here today in New Jersey. It feels a lot more like Easter than Christmas. Hard to believe that Christmas is only two days away! I have all my shopping done. Now comes the gift wrapping and baking. I hope to get a majority of both done tomorrow night.
I will listen around for a bit more; but it's a strange night when I don't hear any chasing Hounds in addition to not hearing Foxes. This is a shame as the neighborhood QRN has taken the night off and my ambient band noise level is only a bar or two on the K2's display.

Been listening to PV8ADI from Brazil on 40 too, and actually worked RD3A in Moscow a few days ago. Got CM8AKD in Cuba this morning.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe 40 meters is this long! It's rare that I work DX on this band. Somethings definitely up...
