The guy on 50.135 heard me but I'm not sure I got his callsign right so I can't log it. My ears don't play nice with aurora bounce.(05-11-2024, 04:08 PM)tommag Wrote: Good morfternoon. Went to Walmart to pick up a couple things. One of them was some aluminum thresh hold to stabilize torn up linoleum at a heat register. No luck there.
Came home and turned on the radio, not expecting much. I was not disappointed. Radio conditions are so bad I can't even talk to myself. Last night I briefly worked some aurora propagation on six meters. That was a first for me. That has a strange fluttering sound. The Aurora acts like a reflective curtain, bouncing signals back towards you so it's only good for relatively close contacts.
I intended to check into 6M last night but got busy and forgot.
