S-5 S- 7 here on the east coast
Almost as clear as a local / regional AM Station

- Check it out !


In Ohio, on my R71a sitting on the kitchen table with a 10' hunk of wire
shoved into the center of the SO-239, without the preamp, it was 30 over
on 9580, with it, it was pegged out. I haven't seen signal strength like
that for a long time. I went into the other room and put the 515 on
11.175 USB, and the base (Just went out of my head, can't remember where
it was at, as soon as I hit send, it will come back) was 60 over on my
sloper, and the attic dipole, AND the short dipole too! I could hear all
kinds of planes talking in the background. If I ran the volume up, they
were all totally copiable, but when one of the strong ones keyed up, it
bloew my head off.

It's really strong everywhere I tried today, must be the cold temp and
snow cover. It sure is quiet too...

Too bad it's not like this in the summer..

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!

Hmmmmmm... That's nice. But all I said was that some of you folks out there
have awfully generous S meters! ;-)
