The snow and the rain have very little if anything to do with propagation at HF
frequencies. They may have an effect at VHF and above.

Did you listen today?? For the 3 or so hours I did, from 7-10, signal
strengths were huge, way above normal, at least here. I also hear a lot
more traffic than normal on the ATC freqs, lots of pacific, hell, lots
of everywhere!

I've been getting RA on 9580 "booming in here" in New England since 1966!

Try tracing their beam for this freq. and you'll see it comes right thru the
heart of America.

I've noticed that 95*90* has been just as strong as 9580 at around
1000-UTC.

Recently, Radio Australia's 9.580 mhz transmission goes off air around 1400
G.M.T. Then it returns around 1600 G.M.T., when 9.590 mhz ceases operation.

Nothing really unusual about that. They generally put in a good signal
here on 9580.

What was unusual this morning was having to go out and do some minor
antenna repairs. The PL-259 on my 200' wire must have worked its way out
of the matching transformer due to repeated heating and cooling. This
mornings 9 degree temp put the finishing touches on it and it was not
making a good connection. At first I thought my coax had failed (it's
buried), but after doing some continuity checks, and finding out that
the PL-259 seemed just a tad loose, I quickly got it up and running
again.

It's damn cold out there in the wind and snow!

Seems evry time I do antenna work it is winter. Minnesota style. Out
of all my work I only remember one time doing summer antenna work.
Guess what I have plans to do in a couple of weeks?

BRRRRRRRR.
