Propagation bright between the blackouts. K=2, A=4, Flux=110
0645z - 0730z Anzo Net on 7,118
Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Bill
Good propagation on 40mx this week but quite heavy QRN from electrical storm activity of unknown origin. We had the pleasure of welcoming Rob ZL1RD back to the nets and he had a good signal in VK. He also had the QRN and really only had good copy on Bill VK4ZD despite the other VK,s having reasonable signal strength. Present were Noel VK2IWT, Phil VK2MCB, Peter VK3FPSR, Diane VK4KYL, Bill K4ZD, one guest from VK5 and myself. At about 0715z Pertti EA7GSU called in and exchanged reports with Bill VK4ZD and Rob ZL1RD and was heard by others present.
