Sunday wasnt much more fun with a 3.1m dish! 

Saturday: Echos were good. I worked sm2cew and w2uhi for new ones. I heard 
11 others including VE3KRP. I didnt hear k0all on my sked 

Sunday. Echos were non existent. K9SLQ was much weaker than normal. I had to 
listen hard to separate k5jl and k5so callsigns they were weak. Nothing on 
sked with K0ALL (even using spectran!). Only heard 2 other stations.

"High degradation hits small dish" is the headline for this week end. 

Sutter day was reasonable with 5 QSO: s in 6 hours.
BUT Sunday was very bad 1 QSO in 7 hours !
Why is that so? Is one way propagation possible even with circular pol ?
(Something else than Faraday) or was it just that the high degradation, 1.8 
dB,
is significant for a 2.2 m dish ? 

1st day worked: G4CCH, RW1AW, IW2FZR, OK1CA, DF3RU and F2TU. 

2nd day worked: only ON7UN.
Hrd and called like hel.. sorry , like very much was: SM4DHN, K1RQG, K9SLQ,
K5JL and K5SO. (Do I hear to good for my 250 W @ feed?)
Hrd in QSO: SV1OE and SP6JLW. 

The Sked with K0ALL was NIL. First sked time I was not QRV because I did not
get any sked list. Was looking on Internet for K1RQG: s sked list but find 
only
old ones. Now I have find out that I should ask for a "membership" on a mail
list "Net Notes by K1RQG" (thanks info Howard). 

CU next time in low degradation and high declination
