nice report tesla,
I'm not sure of PVC status, as I've been away for a few days. Hope I remembered to turn on again after weekend listening...
Alas GNK, often heard, was not apparent on this occasion (Sat 15th or Sun 16th April), nor AA0RQ.

The 22 mtr Hifer band has sure been hit and miss at this point in the solar cycle...
It was good to hear GNK come up so strong...a GNK Qsl is hard to come by. LOL
-
PVC restored to operation ~1am this morning. I had indeed forgotten to restart it after listening... Need a sign for this on the desk or door of the "Shack"
-
April 21 K6FRC Time 1922 utc q3 copy very weak
Geomagnetic storm going on...no other beacon heard.
-
June 9 from 1530- 1541 Q5 Copy on K6FRC no other Hifers heard.
However, the Russian Cluster beacons M and F on 13528.4 have been coming in q5 since 1500 utc...
Only a few dits though out the Hifer band heard and no understanding of what their source is...
Solar Flux 74 A=4 K = 1

July 18 time 1548 utc k6FRC was copied about 5 IDs in a row then disappeared...
I admit I haven't listened to the band very often with trout fishing as a main activity and the solar flux soooo low.
I don't think since I changed my hifer id to PCO a few months ago I have had a single report...

July 21
at 1512 utc started hearing K6FRC it was very q5 and was moving the s meter a little...best I have heard it in quite awhile...then I
swept through the memories on the icom 756 for the other hifer cw beacons NO JOY...hung out for 15 mins
on PVC NO JOY...
Solar Flux is 70, there was a ten meter beacon out of Texas coming in...and a qso in progress on 28400 khz
so I went to 12 meters and worked a stn in GA on cw...thats it from Pine...

July 22 and 23, ~6pm PST Caught a few signals on Spectrogram in the 13,555.xxx zone, including NC and possibly EH. On the 23rd also GNK further up the band. No sign of any closer stations.
Setup was with random dipole and Lowe HF225 receiver.

July 27 Time 1723 K6FRC Q1 copy very weak...solar Flux 69...Boy thats low and it will get lower...

Finally GNK was q1 very weak at 1527 utc K6FRC was q1 a little bit stronger:
I had to have the cans on to copy them...

August 12 Time 1625 utc K6FRC was Q5 pretty strong for a Hifer beacon.
I gave some time this morning to listening for other beacons NO JOY.

Sept 5 started hearing GNK at 1638 Utc...nice q5 signal along with K6FRC up the band a bit.
Maybe this is a sign of Fall coming...I have logged GNK in a while.
