Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NYThe YF & I took a ride up to the hills south of Buffalo (not far from W2DLL's site)
I am typing this from memory, let's see how it goes... Heard between 0000Z and 0100Z, 22 June (from 1700'ASL) 28.1830 XE1RCS 28.2155 KC5CKP 28.2255 W2DLL 28.2318 N1FSX 28.2330 N2UHC 28.2432 W5BUB 28.2463 KI4LEV 28.2250 KB4UPI 28.2600 AD5KO 28.2615 N4VBV 28.2630 N5YEY 28.2691 W3HH 28.2754 KG4GVV 28.2827 W0EREThe noise floor up there was S-0, WITH the preamp in line. I am surprised that I did not hear any of the VE3's over the lake, I had the height and a clear horizon up that way, but nothing.
A big surprise, Anne, WB1GVL, has not used CW in year, decades actually. She was able to copy some of the calls by the end of the hour. I'll get her on the air yet!
