Boy the bands were not working for me down here in Orlando yesterday (Sat) for our Polar Bear QRP Club Summer Picnic Event. It was hot and we had off and on rain every so often. That was a good test of my new Coleman 2 pole shelter which fared well except for when I forgot and leaned too far and got soaked.<br /><br />So blame it on the propagation. It was plain lousy on 40, 30, 20m here and I did not hear anything on 15m but the QRN was not bad there at least. Signals were way way down in the noise and only with serious use of the NEScaf Filter could I hear well enough to copy anyone all day. Lightning and wind shut me down about 1:30 local. <br /><br />Sorry I missed ya! But know I will keep looking for you.<br /><br />72,<br />Kelly K4UPGK4UPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091825321244960408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-5214044137526704622010-08-22T06:46:03.102-04:002010-08-22T06:46:03.102-04:00Propagation is just so poor!!!

A downer for geezers like me only able to operate on 20 meters and higher. 73 N2UGBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-10648776202765461072010-08-21T13:53:32.823-04:002010-08-21T13:53:32.823-04:00Good afternoon Larry, I too have had a very slow d...Good afternoon Larry, I too have had a very slow day of it as well. As you say not sure if the conditions are favoring QRP. I heard N4BP but was not able to make the contact. I had to pull the plug I was on the back deck with my KX1 and the rain started. I will be posting some pic's on the blog and a little write up as well.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
