[Moon] HAARP Reception this weekend

[Peter Sundberg]

Hello Chris,

I was listening for one hour on 7407.5, and heard the skywave signal very
well. At no time did I notice any echoes. The moon was at 3 deg elevation,
in az 345-355, and I was beaming right at it with my vertical array.  

Interesting to hear that Mike JH1KRC heard them, maybe a bit more elevation
would have helped. Also, HF conditions here were pretty ok on 7 MHz,
probably making EME a bit more difficult.
