Tough Propagation Tonight! We are streaming .mp3 at BallSmacker.net. 3 listeners right now. Too bad, it's a good show!
MUF looks to be about 2 MHz tonight. We really don't have what it takes to drop down more in Freq. Guess we'll just stay the course and hope next week is better.

S3 at 02:48 UTC using the Washington DC sdr, conditions are No bueno
-
Having trouble getting Positive AM modulation over 50%. Does that mean we need a new tube? Carrier is good at 200W but peaks are only 400W. ALC is off. Could be many $$$. Sounds distorted on air.
-
Can anyone help advise?

I tried listening as well at the beginning of the broadcast and there was no signal into my location.
Although accurately predicting propagation is complex on its own, at 01:00 UTC, from my location to central USA, my prediction tools showed that the MUF was around 8.5 MHz and the optimum frequency around 8 MHz. The solar cycle being what it is, perhaps 6960 is a better choice for now.
