Superb!

Figured I would start the thread over for the month. Just went back
and saw all your QSL's for May. Well done!

Bands have been sucky lately. Some VHF excitement here and there.
Luckily the IRA still works.

Had a bunch of geomagnetic storms last week - so no surprise there.

Here's where I go for quickie looks -

The SFI is still too low, the A Index still too high - when those
change, the bands will improve I suppose...

What power?

100 watts. Conditions were great for about a week back in March. I
worked a bunch of stations on 15 meters just running barefoot. The
only time I had to use more was working some of the far east stations
on 20 meters. Hong Kong, Indonesia. Thailand, etc.

Sunspot number went up for a few days. Then we got hit with a
geomagnetic storm. Was talking to a guy in Missouri and one in Indiana
on 40m earlier today and both guys just faded out. The only guy that
stayed strong was a truck driver in North Carolina.

The truck driver is a cool guy. He is taking a job for a couple years
in Japan and he already has his Japanese license so he can transmit
from there. I will be listening for him and hopefully can make a
contact.

Well, Voice of Russia did it to me this time...

**GUIANA FRENCH, PRIDNESTROVIE, RUSSIA, Voice of Russia, 9735 AND 9665
AND 15425 kHz, 17 March 2010, 0200z-0300z. Signed "partial" data card
"St. Clement's Church at the Corner;" - For reception report by email
May 18, 2010, in 14 days. I say "partial" data card because - This is
one of those situations where, by describing my receipt of their
station on one frequency from one place in the *actual report*
(Pridnestrovie) but comparing it to signals from two other sites at
the same time (French Guiana and Russia) in the *cover letter,* they
decided to verify *all three* in the same QSL card, without
identifying any one of them at all anywhere in the text.

AAAHHH! So what do I do? All three freqs are identified on the card,
and I am sure I was able to hear all three at the same time (I know I
did not fudge anything) - can I rightfully say that this card covers
all three?

Here's what In intend to do, just to satisfy myself - in the
compartment with this card, I am going to add a note card with the A10
schedule passages that Identify these three locations as transmitter
sites. I don't care what anyone else thinks :-)
