Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY
Got a quick (25 minute) tune over the band before heading out for my
tasks. From 1440Z to 1455Z on 15 August I copied the following:
28.2047 KE4TWI
28.2140 N4PAL
28.2154 KD5CKP
28.2224 N4QDK
28.2255 W2DLL (Barely, 319 in local noise!)
28.2380 KB2SEO - Backscatter, I believe. MUCH stronger on the vertical
28.2432 W5BUB
28.2450 N8RT
28.2464 KI4LEV
28.2510 WA4GEH
28.2659 NC4SW
28.2717 W4TIY
28.2760 K4FUM
28.2760 K4UKB
28.2840 K2XG
28.2886 WJ5O
Noticeable absentees were the Florida powerhouses, I expected to hear
W3HH and KF4MS, they're usually all I hear on poor days, but on a decent
day...Nothing, strange.
I was hearing some of the beacons far better on the vertical, this
indicates a higher level of low-angle signals and the possibility of
backscatter. I really need the beam but more than that I need the TIME
to build it. I have 3 partly built projects in the garage but the
medical issues with my accident and recovery seem to always get in the
way. Maybe this fall, we will see...
I will be back at the rig in the late afternoon, I'll post what I hear then.
