YOU GUYS MAN ! ! ! ! You call yourselves DXers ? You get a 3 Day Weekend and you go on vacation. The West Coast was working into Europe on 10 meters today (Aug 31) for the first time this Solar Cycle and you take time off ! And this was one of the very few Rare occasions where the Pacific Northwest had a Big Leg Up on the Californians. Signs were brewing a week ago this would happen. Right now the 304A reading is the highest it's been since last Fall and considerably higher than what it was last month.

Conditions were both very good and very wierd Friday Saturday was pretty much a dud. The Pt Arguello (Lompoc CA) Ionosonde readings for Sunday show promise.

Last fall was far better than current conditions on 10 from EU to 6 and 7 We're are still in Summertime Conditions. Right now is when we see the first stirrings of Fall Season F 2 conditions on 15, 12 and 10. They are much further along then they have been for many years. In a week or two expect 10 to be cookin !

Thanks Daz G0WCKBeen busy with family matters Daz. Where on the West is another matter. The bands normally open from South to North. When I lived in Portland Oregon 13 years ago there were times I could hear stations in Southern California running Europe and or JA without hearing a so much as a peep.

Besides, this probably is a good time to take a few days off from the radio if "In a week or two expect 10 to be cookin" ;D
