I talked with Barry, W9UCW and met Linda, W5TRV on 20 meters a couple of days ago. Linda is coming up to speed on HF operating. Linda has changed her QRZ page to reflect her new last name and new location. (Map coordinates are old).
They intend to get up early to be on 3.796 MHz to sometimes enjoy the steady diet of heavy static with me and Bobby and occasionally, "the terror of 6m moon bounce", Phil.
I have been sleeping in and not on 75m much. On the mornings that I have been on before sunrise, I have only managed ZL or VK or JA a few times. There was a HL on 2 or 3 weeks ago, but he could only hear K7FX.
With the increase of thunderstorms in the U.S. and Central America I am wondering if we will ever hear 75m become quiet and propagation well above the noise level again.
I plan to be mobile between 28 September and 12 October as K1YJ, my U.S. call sign. Mostly on 20 m with 20 watts. If you are still reading this, please comment or post a new message. Thanks, Jay, HP3AK
