HF Radio Blackout: You Are A Big Freaking Bully Sunspot AR3664
So much for playing radio this weekend. In the last half hour my 200mW Zachtek WSPR transmitter, cycling from 80M to 10M every 15 minutes or so, managed to be heard in 2 places… Both in Boston and presumably by ground wave.
By comparison, here is a half hour block from a good propagation day:

I tried some 6 meter ssb with my 6m Ringo and 100 watts during this Aurora, hoping some skip off of it would work. And like a Goat, the answer was “Naaaaaa”. See you at Day if Radio next week! Usual skip service will continue. 73
Hi Dave!
