I'm sorry I don't have good antennas for 17 or 12. I have worked some DX
using either my KT34XA or one of my dipoles, but I'm sure signals are down
considerably. See you one of these weeks.

Hi Lloyd,
I spent the rest of the evening here, 20:00 UTC onwards, on 17m and 12m.
12m was wide open! I'll be listening on Sunday!
Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

We probably would have done better on 15 meters at that time, but we never
move the net around, at least until it's over. Remember, the time is 2000
UTC, not British Summer Time, if that still exists. I called this time at
the very top of the hour, and only for 2 minutes or so. It's hard to hold a
frequency. But we'll try again this Sunday. BTW, 15 was open to eastern
Europe and Siberia at 0330Z, reflecting the high solar activity we had.
Normally this opening is on 20 and maybe 17 meters, with 15 having already
closed for the most part.

Hi Lloyd,
Yes, I was there last Sunday, but heard not a squeak from the States. I
assumed you would be calling for Europe, but heard nothing on 14.258! I'll
be there again at 20:00 this Sunday.
Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

We had our net on 14258 at 2000Z. Conditions were quite variable, with
several stations reporting that most signals were weaker than usual. Solar
flux was about 147 today, which should have resulted in shorter skip but can
also result in more absorption. Although I turned my beam to Europe at the
top of the hour, I didn't keep it there long, and didn't hear Kelvin. Thank
you to KG4ITD, W6PR/0 and WA0VJR for relays. I closed the net after 2045Z
because of the conditions, and the fact that I was losing my voice.
