Agreed that Sunday was bad. Wouldn't mind having CHP to listen to as a consolation prize, though. Lucky it is still on lowband and in the clear!

Even it has been crappy locally. Noisy where it isn't usually. They're probably hearing it just fine in Japan and China right now.

25.835 LSB OM in Spanish, roger beep, taxi service?
26.140 data bursts
26.205 AM YL in Spanish, brief transmissions, sounds like same (probable) taxi service
26.325 data bursts
26.375 AM OM in Spanish, strange end of transmission tone that sounds like a data burst, S-9+ signal
26.555 / 26.585 AM/SSB OM's in Spanish
26.765 AM - the usual YL in Spanish w/ roger beep, Mexico taxi service
26.890 data bursts
27.195 AM OM in Spanish, roger beep, possible taxi service?
27.255 AM YL in Spanish, no roger beep, fading on signal, short transmissions, hearing mobiles - probable tax service

This is a good site to see what the MUF is and today it's showing exactly what you are reporting. Nothing much about 28 mhz.:

Things came back for a bit today, that's nice. Heard we have *major* solar activity right now, so tomorrow might be pretty interesting!

I'll try listening there. Could be anything - truckers, outbanders, etc. As mentioned above, solar activity could mean today is another poor showing.

Actually, based on observation and discussion with others, we might have a great showing. MUF already shows close to 31MHz.

 

[d119]

Get a load of the MUF contour for 33MHz right now... This totally shows why I get stuff from the NE US down here constantly... Very cool to see it visually represented.



I expect my log tonight to be fairly decent. We'll see.
