* Good Evening All,

Certainly not the best of days for ten meter conditions.... Four bandscans and I had to strain my ears as well as switching antennas..... Something that I did notice today.... both times when I logged the two XE1 Mexico beacons I could only hear one via vertical polarization and needed to switch to horizontal to hear the other.....and the first one could not be heard after switching...... I have believed for years that polarization didn't matter on sky wave propagated signals....oh well! Ten meters is strange......

13:01 Z, 30 June 2012 NO ten meter beacon signals heard into EM71.

17:55 Z, 30 June 2012 I can hear 2 ten meter beacon signals into EM71.
