Default Great Conditions

Last night was an incredible night for ducting on the East Coast.

I talked from Baltimore to Long Island on 146.505 simplex using a
three element coathanger yagi at 15 feet off the ground with 50 watts.

Radio is an Icom 2100H. Nothing fancy here.

I was bringing up repeaters by the threes and fours calling CQ.

Also, 11 meters was active yesterday afternoon, and I talked to
Indiana from my mobile on 38 LSB. Now calling as 104 in Baltimore.

Can't say I'm not radio active.

Now that the weather has changed, I don't expect good ducting tonight.

According to the Hepburn Tropo prediction page
http://www.iprimus.ca/~hepburnw/tropo.html
things may be good anyway. If it's not raining, I'll set up again tonight.

This guy does a real good job predicting tropo ducting.
