Was using a dummy load on my HT when there was a glorious and most wonderful worldwide band opening. It must have been an LDE because I am still hearing voices. Unfortunatley then my radio and tower exploded from a rogue CME so I will be off the air for an hour or two.
Wait, there is a white van with antennas out front.

Made some DX with my 23 cm handheld-TRX and the original antenna. PWR only 3,4 watts and QTH about 450 m asl.
Fine for today.

Hello 2 all,
actually again wonderful propagation on 70 cm into the states. Wow!!!!
Maybe we\'ll expect a grand opening to the pacific area on 2m!

I am saddened to report that Russ Sakai, KH6FOO passed away 20 Nov 2008. Russ was about 58 and had been suffering from throat cancer. Russ gave many VHFers a new country during the tropo openings to the mainland in the 60\'s and 70\'s. He was also very active on 2 meter EME for many years. He will be greatly missed.
We\'ve got an grand opening into the U.S.A.

Interestingly, Lihue sounding does not indicate sufficient gradients for ducting. Neither does San Diego. Vandenberg is iffy.

As of 1600Z this morning only 2 meter beacon in weakly. Still very hot dry "NO" fog visible .
DALE i'll try and get some DUCT pictures to you when I return from CENTRAL STATES VHF CONF.
22:10p PST - K6QXY, Robert, all I see is fog since it rolled back in about 6:00pm tonight and the temp dropped 10 degrees. It's interesting to note how much stronger you hear Pauls beacons at your 2000ft elevation even though you're noticeably further inland than me at my 225ft elevation buried here in the city. Can you take a picture of the "visible duct" and email it. I'd like to see what it looks like.
73 & good night to all,
Dale
ALL beacons except 222 are very strong. 1296 beacon peaks at 599 at times. Still very hot & dry at 2000ft. I can see a marine layer off the coast. Duct is optically visible. @ 0420Z
18:10 PST - First I think the time stamp on this logging program seems to be off 1-2 hours?
Second, it appears the beacon signals are all fading into the sunset right now. Signals for 144, 432 and 1296 started getting weaker around 15:45p PST and now I am only hearing 144 and 432 intermittently at best.
From my two days of actually being around and able to listen intermittently when I could hear the beacons (7/20 & today) I noticed that signals peaked both days between around 12:00n - 15:30p PST and signals disappeared almost like clockwork at shortly after 6:00p PST. I'll have to check later tonight to hear if they come back in.
Mahalo and have a great evening!
Dale
The KH6HME 144.17 beacon is 569 here at 2212Z, but NIL on 432. Location 1740' in CM87ul (I think) where it is 101 deg F.
13:50 PST - CM87 San Franciso - The 144 beacon has been running a consistent 54-59 since about 12:00n PST. The 432 beacon has been a consistent 51-54 with peaks to 57. Upper 60's here in SF, clear skies but I can see the fog sitting at the coast line.
Am beginning to hear the 1296 beacon in/out as well with a huge S0 signal! My first time ever to hear it at my whopping 200ft in a valley elevation 2 miles from the coast!! Those at higher elevation must be hearing it very well though from my past observations.
2m bcn S1 into smogville............DM03
Here in CM87 (SF) the 432 Beacon has been in/out for up to 10 minutes at a time since 08:00a PST, running between S0-S1. The 144 beacon started coming in/out in a similar fashion and signal strength at about 10:00am.

144 beacon Q5 S9 432 beacon Q5 S5 1296 beacon Q5 S1 NO 222 beacon?? broke??
Dry VERY HOT @ 2000ft. @ 1600Z
144 & 432 beacons in Q5 S1---2 Very hot 7 dry @ 2000ft. ~ 0330Z
First, thanks to WSWSS member, Dan, K6NKC for pointing me to this log page.
Next, all of Paul's signals dissappeared from SF city proper after 18:00PST last night shortly after I spoke with him on 2mtrs. I kept a little signal log yesterday when ever I happened to me in my home office and noted something I noticed the June 25/26 weekend opening. Seems that the 432 sigs and 144 sig strengths are somewhat inversely related. When 432 sig strength is climbing the 144 sig strength is weakening, and of course visa-versa. Now of course this makes sense as we have all studied this stuff but one rarely gets to observe this in real time and on multiple occasions at these frequencies.
My location is about 2 miles from the ocean and 225ft elevation. I have never heard the 50mhz or 1296 beacon. However, Jack, WB6EBR who is across the bay in Berkeley at 1000ft elevation could hear the 1296 beacon yesterday.
All for now and may you all have a great weekend.
73,
Dale

As of 1500Z this morning all beacons are gone.
Worked Paul, KH6HME, on 2m with a horizontal loop at 25' and 100W from DM12. Thanks Paul!
Well, some nice ham on WSWSS pointed me to this site. I've been listening to Pauls 144 and 432 beacons consistently in my home office all morning and recently left him a voice mail of such. 144 sigs ranging between s1/2 up to s8/9. 432 sigs ranging between s0 to s5. Mind you I have a very modest vhf/uhf setup on my end. I haven't heard anything on 1296. If anybody is interested in a short audio/video clip of his sigs as received on this end let me know and I can email one or both bands to you. (Amazing what a simple digital camera can do these days!)
Afternoon update. Sigs went as high as S8/9 on both 144 and 432 around 1:00p- PST. Then off to a meeting and now back at 5:00p. Can hear Paul weakly talking to S. CA & XE stations. 432 Beacon is stronger right now than his 2 mtr sig.
Nice warm (70+) day in SF with clear skys.

Good luck BOB K6QXY CM88QL
The last reference to the 1296 beacon freq was from K6QXY on 25 June who reported 1296.250. In past years had seen 1296.300 - .400 reported, with freq drifting with the site's temperature. I'm assuming K6QXY's freq is correct since it's most recent.
Put up the 1296 M2 Yagi this morning, but nothing heard on either 1296 freq.
