Propagation very variable. K=3, A=5, Flux=83.
0530z - 0600z Anzo Net on 7,118.
Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill
40mx ANZO net was quite active with Phil VK2FPDB, Peter VK3FPSR, Bill VK4ZD, Doug ZL1BFS and myself. We were joined by Pertti EA7GSU having ZL1BFS at 5x6 and Brian G3LUW who also had ZL1BFS at 4x5. VK4ZD also had EA7GSU and G3LUW at workable strength and I heard G3LUW 3x2 but had no contact. The grey line seems to suit ZL! At the time of our net! ZL1BFS reported no useful propagation on 20mx apart from a very brief burst of 20 seconds from VK4ZD at 5x8 at 0645z.
Phil VK2FPDB still awaits his new call.
YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD
And Many Thanks to Doug ZL1BFS for this note :-
The 40m VK net went well with good sigs 5-6 from Perti and 4-5 from
Brian G3LUW
On 20 m, no sigs, neither VK nor any europeans, were better than 2-2
so I didn't bother calling on to the net. For two occasions about 6:45am, Bill VK4ZD came up to 5-8 for about 20 seconds, then disappeared down to 2 - 2 again. The MUF on the path ZL to Europe was 13MHz
