Been up awhile. Not yet grey line, but just spotted activity on 27385LSB in the waterfall. I was hoping for early morning DX, but of course, it appears to be locals on ch38. Oh well.
Just took another 11m skim. More local comms. Surely the op needs
this much overmodulation to talk to other locals, right? o.0
Occasional audio comms, plus what sounds like a digital signal right above the noise floor, on 27375LSB at 1214z.
The overmoduling op on 27385 is now bleeding to above and even below the 11m CB band. Yay?
Audio modulation near and into the noise floor on 27205AM and 27285AM at 1220z. Perhaps more important to me, thankfully the splatting op on 27385LSB has shutdown his rig for awhile.
Estimated MUF is rising. Up to 29-30MHz in parts of Europe. Still under 20MHz here at the QTH, but improving.
European DX on 20m at 1243z.
European DX on 17m at 1246z.
European DX on 15m at 1251z.
Getting there!
Regional estimated MUF is up to around 18-21MHz.
Modulation in the noise floor is starting to appear on 27025AM at 1302z.
Signals might fair slight better with my 18' end-fed vertical, but I am in the den using an active miniwhip for now. I probably will venture across the house and turn on the 11m rig if/when 11m SSB DX picks up activity.
Heard what sounded like European DX on 27410USB at 1344z.
Activity on 27025AM is still largely in the noise floor, though an occasional signal rises above it.
Local area estimated MUF is up to ~25MHz at 1410z. Estimated MUF in part of Europe is up to 33MHz.
