I thought I was hearing you, but your signal is usually pretty weak here on
20, and with the extra absorption and QRM it was really not possible to copy
you. I didn't check 10 meters, but you probably had a combination of F2
propagation to Pennsylvania and sporadic E to Texas. Or maybe the east
coast was double-hop E sub s. DX conditions have been very good on 20 in
the evenings, and 15 was still open to the Guam area after 11 PM last night.
But higher ionization brings more absorption on low frequencies, so this
mostly makes sense. We will never all hear each other on the 20-meter net,
but sometimes we come closer to that goal than others.
