Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY

I took the HTX-100 with me this AM and sfter my appointment I parked on the shores of Lake Erie in Hamburg, NY

Here's what I logged between 1400Z and 1500Z on 27 April:

28.1750  VE3TEN - E-Skip Backscatter
28.1930  VE4ARM
28.2100  VE4TEN
28.2255  W2DLL - Ground Wave
28.2258  WB0LYV - I thought this one was moving to 28.223?

28.2330  N2UHC
28.2348  KI4AED
28.2500  N4AR - Not sure on the call, REALLY Weak
28.2540  KJ4QOB
28.2622  WF4HAM

28.2654  KR4HO
28.2690  W3HH - Still lower than I remember, used to be 269.5?
28.2828  W0ERE
28.2885  WJ5O - Easy Copy without the Birdies!
28.2998  KF4MS

WB0LYV was strong enough to take out W2DLL and I was less than 5 miles from Dana's QTH. If the WB0LYV beacon is QSY'ing, I hope it's soon. The HTX-100 has a minimum step of 100 hz, when I first turn it on the time base drift moves it about 200 hz so take my frequencies with a grain of salt, or maybe hot wings and blue cheese! I would love to leave the TS-680S in the truck, but I can't afford to have it stolen. The Rat Shack rig only has $40 into it, not so worried, y'know...

I will be out monitoring this afternoon after 2000Z, it will be interesting to see which way the E-clouds drifted.
