Propagation still poor. K=0, A=4, Flux=85.
0530z - 0800z Anzo Net on 7,118.
Many thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill
Big thunder storm in southern Queensland filled 40mx with much lightning static all over Eastern Australia. On frequency we had ZL1BFS who was S5 with me and Bill VK4ZD but very poor copy due to the S7+ static. Also on frequency was Peter VK3FPSR with good signals here at S9+. Bill VK4ZD was also S9+ who was suffering the greatest static QRN. Until next time YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD.
