TS 850 - 2x 19,5m - Doppelzepp - Huehnerleitung - dl2za s9+ Lightning crashes/static and QSB did not help! - g3yrz Best DX was PJ2T. No CM, CN, or DM grids. - k1lt Typical summer conditions. Lots of snap crackle pop noisy conditions. Add to that high absorption levels due to solar cycle maximum, and you a recipe for rough times on 160! All 2,3, and 4 pointers. Only EN,EM,FM and FN grids worked here. Woke up briefly at 4:30am local Sunday and thought about getting and going to the shack. Then all of a sudden it was 7:50am and the sun was shining in my eyes! Thanks for the Qs. 73 Gene N9TF.
