[Moon] WA6PY report.

[Paul Chominski]

To All,
I started to call CQ on 144.050.5 at 30 minutes before the end of the 
contest. Elevation was about 35 deg and noise floor reduced by about 20 dB 
from the noise floor at few degrees elevation, but still was 12 dB over 50 
ohm termination. I could hear weak echoes. Someone called me, I could find 
this signals quite easy about 80 Hz above my echoes frequency.  Signal was 
too low in the noise and I was not able to copy. Noise was also kind of 
choppy in amplitude what makes reception extra difficult.

I wonder what the source of this kind of extra noise can be when this hot 
Santa Ana winds blows from the desert?
I found this kind of strong noise few times in the past, but I never 
conected winds with the noise. This time I find the same observation 
reported by Bob K6PF.
