Good signal into SE Fla tonight also at 0100Z. I think the freq is 8957.0
Never thought to listen to them before. Listen to NY often on the 6MHz freq.

A index is up to 70 now with K=6
Watching dxmaps.com and the guys up north are having a ball on 6 meters working the aurora propagation.
Just finished a net on 40 a few minutes ago and the conditions were really unusual. Band was really long but nothing close in. The ncs station in N Ga. peaked at S9+30. She is always strong, but nothing like that. (runs legal limit)

433 here in SE Fla. ID at 0115. Lots of static crashes but there are T-storms off the east coast, Hispaniola and from the central states to the eastern front of the mountains.

0120 signal picked up from an S8 to S9+10dB.

Thanks RH. It reminded me of the broadband 75/80 meter antenna at W1AW as shown in the antenna book except it was made of wire.

Interesting article. I found the driven elements of the array interesting.
The taper looks like it may be used for matching impedance and the large diameter should contribute to increasing bandwidth. Hope someone more knowledgeable can comment.

Thanks for the show.

One of the greats. I remember seeing him in person when I was dating my soon to be wife back in the 60's. Of course he did Memphis.
He will be missed.
