For what it's worth, on Thursday PM I thought my R75 radio had suffered
mysterious damage. So over to the backup Zenith, pulled up the
Transoceanic's five foot whip, and everything on HF was dead there too.


Whew what a relief, it was conditions not the rig. Then online at one
of the propagation sites I read this would probably be the worst one
day wipe out of the entire sun cycle! Tonight (Friday) bands are most
excellent, e.g. 75 meters, etc .
