Big Boys Only
« on: September 20, 2015, 1643 UTC »
Quick casual listening around 0400 lcl this AM.

Seems bands down , only flame throwers (but THEY were a pleasure to copy ).

RHC huge  6 Mc w/  Carlos Santana, suddenly QRT.

R. Amazonas/R. Nacional Brasil 11780 HUGE.

Some Bibles stations too. Little else.Will propagation EVER come out of the hopper ?

"If you can't party with the big boys DON'T SHOW UP" :D !

I haven't made it a habit to tune SW daily since maybe mid-2014...

Every time I've switched on any of my radios to the Shortwave bands (including ham bands) it's been blah conditions, with rare exceptions on the ham bands.

Maybe spring of this year I heard a couple stations in China broadcasting to Europe, that was cool, 'cause the transmitter's in Kashgar.

But since then, when the propagation was kicking in -- if it indeed was -- my radio was switched off.  ;D
