Well, it's good to know that some bands are still good.

20 was unbelievably rough today.

But, as we all know, that's the nature of the beast.

Well had some nice qsos tonight on 40 cw, armchair copy and think 80 meters
has improved slightly. But it was a noisy band earlier.

    Kevin and all:

I have to say that I have never encountered such strange conditions on 20
meters as I did today.

I am looking at the check-in list, and am amazed how few people I actually
heard.

For me, the loudest stations were Junior in Florida, and Paul in Southern
California.

I was also battling some QRN from thunderstorms in our area, so overall, it
was a very challenging day.

And, Kevin, you were down at my noise level most of the time too, which was
really strange. ...  It will be interesting to see if there has been a solar
storm or some other sort of geo-magnetic disturbance.

Hi All,

The conditions on 20 were absolutely deplorable today but we did hold the
cross country net.  Below are the check-ins and we hope for better
propagation next week.  Very 73 to all.
