Propagation seems better. K=1, A=4, Flux=91.
0600z - 0630z Anzo Net on 7,118
Many thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill and Happy New Year
We had 4 participants on 7118 KHz for this net comprising Phil VK2FPDB, Bill K4ZD, Doug ZL1BFS and myself. Bill 4ZD was hampered by S9+ lightning static and so had less than Q5 copy on most stations. I had good copy on Bill and Phil but Doug was quite weak. Phil advised he is now a signed up member of ROAR and also plans to upgrade his licence in March. Bill has not been flooded at his location but indicated it remains very wet and the holes for his new tower are nearly full of water. It was great to work Martti OH6SM on the Europe net being the only reasonable signal from Europe I could hear despite Klaus HB9CQS being readable occasionally.
A great 2011 to all on the nets. YIR 73 Peter VK3KCD
0730z - 0900z Europe - Anzo Net on 14,293 Long Path.
