African stations were thundering in here tonight (morning UTC, June

South, Gabon (Afrique Numero Une), Botswana, Cyprus (sort of Africa),
Madagascar, Swaziland and even Egypt were all pretty potent on the
various upper bands, more than I have seen in quite awhile. *Guinea,
OTOH, on 7125 was a weak carrier and nothing more, and the usual S.
African powerhouses on 41m were kaput. *49 meters was pretty washed
out, with only the North American outlets dong well (although Spain on
6055 was OK early evening well after the Spanish started at 0100;
before that it was nonexistent during the normal English hour).


I guess summer is here!

Thanks for the heads up, Bruce! This is my last day of teaching before
a two week vacation begins. News like your's makes me want to start
wanting to listen to my radios. Try to share some specific logs, so we
can compare propagation in the Ohio Valley to that on the West Coast.

I'll try, Mike - my main obstacle to writing logs on the PC is time,
as it requires a transfer from my hardcopy logbook at the radio (where
my PC is not). I'll try to put up the more interesting ones here.
