I didn't see any obvious issues with the propagation data, it's probably just poor timing. On the bright side I was looking at the sunspot numbers and the forecasts for summer 2022 are pretty good.

I have a lot of noise lately, noise floor was S8 before the net. I think it's all the Xmas lights.

Never underestimate Olivia's abilities. We'll see how it goes.

Will send the first reminder at 2300Z as usual.

ETA:
#2 out at 2315Z roughly, I realized the net text is saying 0015Z and fixed it after the fact.

ETA2:
#3 out at 2330Z

Propagation was quite good at the start of the net but seem to fade over time. Hope to hear you all next week. Don't forget to listen for pirates on NYE if you're into that.
