Foxii signals ranged from S9+10 dB to a low of beneath the noise level - QSB
was rapid at times, although 10 or 20 seconds might go by with a Fox at a
good workable level before sagging back into the noise.
I think that most of the Tornados and other North Texas locals got their
Two-Fers tonight, but we had to work for them!
I guess the frustrating part is that 30 minutes before the Hunts started,
most signals were S7 or better, noise was low and the band really sounded
good. Then the magic 0200Z arrived and down we went the slippery slope.
Probably not feasible, but maybe during these sunspot minima, etc., moving
the Hunts back to 0100Z might be an improvement.
But, it wouldn't be much fun if it was always easy!
