Got the new hex up for the first time tonight...  up around 20 ft.     Just for yuks, I pointed it towards Japan...  figured I'd just see what was happening.

Have had it pointed that way all evening, couple of hours.     Running RTTY...  I'm getting Russia QSO after Russia QSO.... only Russia, well.. and Ukraine.

Am I to assume these guys are shooting north as well???    I guess I could be picking them up off the side of the beam, but if that was the case, I should be hearing europe as well... so, they have to be shooting north... all I am hearing is Russia....  what has me puzzled is why only Russia???

This is cool....      more learning curve....

Switch to SSB, you can sometimes hear their voices fluttering as they cross the aurora up North!  It's a blast, Mm-nn-dd-ll-ee-ss-ss!    Sometimes they're clear as can be, sometimes like that.
