This latest after-storms & floods cool-snap maybe last-call for Low Band DX'ing!
« on: April 07, 2025, 1652 UTC »
After disconnecting everything radio-wise for almost a month, I did hook-up & kick-on the HF rig Sunday afternoon, then evening, to find that the bands below 10MHz were not that trashed-up in lightning crashes, unlike earlier last week. 40M AM was totally listenable on 7280 - 95kHz, with lots on ops booming-in. 3885kHz AM wasn't that noisy either, but hardly anyone on. In fact, there wasn't that much traffic on 75 - 80M last night. Some activity on 160M SSB. So, while we have this cool-snap in the East, might be a good time to take advantage of that, before T-storms return.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
