Y'all want to start on 40 meters again?
Any more suggestions to improve timing, check in procedure, frequencies, timing etc? |

Should we start a bit earlier, say - at 7:30 PM Eastern, on 40 meters? Last time I was still taking check-ins at 7:57 PM on 40 meters.

I hear voices down in the mud, but 40 meters just isn't working for me tonight. The spectrum scope is flat. Hopefully better luck on 80.

Noise is only S3. Just no propagation for me. I have a very limited antenna, so there's that problem.

I don't feel like going outside in the snow and adjusting the whip length on my vertical for 80, so I'll probably sit that portion out
I really need to figure out a dedicated 80m antenna. |
