Last night (or early this morning), I was getting Radio New Zealand on 9885,
with my Yaesu VR-500 and a RS Extendable antenna. The amazing thing was that
the antenna was totally collapsed at the time and I was getting 3 bars out
of ten on the S-meter. Fantastic!! Eric KA6USJ Approx 38N 122W.

The 31 meter band has been 'alive' all evening here near Boston MA, even as

You aren't kidding - as clear, strong and solid as I've ever heard
in 31m. Even a lot *quieter* than normal. Unfortunately, 60 meters is
still "as usual".

Do you have any problems with interference from the Codar stations on
60-m? It really annoys me that the FCC has told the Codar people to use
that band because they know SWL's don't have any power to do anything
about it. They wouldn't dare interfere with communications like amateur
radio, military or commercial utility transmissions on other
frequencies/bands.

Oh my God, yes. It isn't the only problem down there, but it is the
most annoying one.
