Propagation poor. K=3, A=9, Flux=66.
0630z - 0730z Europe - Anzo Net on 14,293 Long Path.
I missed this one due to some aerial problems. My beam snagged on
the trap dipole on one side and on a beech branch on the other side.
By the time I got it free and up to full height the net was over.
Following received from Bill VK4ZD : -
Thanks Bill
Got it no problem. (re. Pertti's message)
Not a hint of propagation last night.
All we hear is the USA short path.
We did hear one EA station on his regular sched on 14.153 about S3 but that was it.
When he is there he is always a big signal.
