Weekly Report

Propagation very unstable. K=1, A=1, Flux=84.

0800z - 0900z Europe - Anzo Net on 14,293 Long Path.

Not much doing at this end. Again Klaus did better. Thanks for your report Klaus :-

Greetings Bill,

This Sunday's ANZO net was very much a repeat of the previous Sunday's net. Same poor conditions, almost same operators . The first readable signal again came from Teru, JM2HBO, at 08:02z, but it took a little while before we had contact.

08:26z JM2HBO, Teru. 55 here. Got 57. Now and then heavy QRM from a commercial station.

Sounded like a Sunday morning service.

08:29z VK4ZD, Bill from Lokyer Waters. Rarely above 44 here. Got 43 for a start.

08:28z ZL1BFS, Doug. 55 here at best. Got 57, slowly decreaing to 43.

08:40z VK2GWK, Henk. 43 both ways. Not Henk's usual SteppIR signal.

09:04z G4YZE, Bill from Bolton. 53 here briefly before Bill QSYed to 80 metres.

Bill had no trouble working VK4 and ZL1 at this hour.

09:06z VK2GWK, Henk called. Now 55 here and good copy. Henk hampered by heavy QRN gave me 45.

09:13z QRT

Peter, VK3KCD, was on the net also, but not readable here. There were possibly other VKs and ZLs on the net.
