Hello Jay

I had a few Minnesota stations on the hook earlier tonight and the
conditions seem to fade with the sunset. How's that new antenna working out
for you?

Hello All:

Hearing stations from all over the place, but still condations are poor
for shotin skip. Stations heard are weak and fad quickly. 11 and 10
meters I am hearing the same locations. No big surprise.

I swing the beam around and have a switched +20dB pre-amp/ straight thru
/ -20dB attunator mounted near the beam antenna, and still not a lot of
help in most cases to get a solid copy. But the best I have heard is
stations that do come in and fad out, will return shortly. Rough going
indeed!
