Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY Took a tune around the band from 0030Z to 0200Z/ 29 April Some F2 and E-Skip, mixed mode here. Heard the following: 28.1658 XE2NS 28.1710 XE1FAS 28.1930 LU2ERC 28.2000 LU4AA 28.2000 W6WX 28.2085 NB7A 28.2255 W2DLL 28.2495 K8NDB 28.2500 K6FRC/B2 28.2790 WA6MHZ 28.2869 WI6J 28.2879 WA7LNW 28.3000 K6FRC/BNo sign of the other SoCal beacons, missed a couple of the XE's and a lot of the LU's and PY's. It's better than months & months of "Nothing Heard (Again)" though...
There's quiet WX in the forecast, I will try to get the portable vertical dipole together and test it out in the field. It should be a noticeable improvement over the mobile whip and I may be able to multi-band it also. It's a thought...
