<div class="content">Night of Night Results from my QTH,
White Hall, Va, (far northern Va), Grid Square FM09wh.
My QTH is in a rural area and I am on a ridge with views
of the Blue Ridge to the East and the Allegheny
mountains to the west. A pretty good radio location.<br>
<br>
Between 00:57Z and 01:48Z I copied the following:<br>
KPH on: 6477 RST 579, 8642 RST 539, 12808 RST 599+,
17016.5 RST599+<br>
KFS on: 6365.6 RST 579, 12695.5 RST 599+, 17026 RST 569<br>
NMC on: 6383 RST 59++, 8574 RST 599<br>
I was surprised by the good signal strength on the
higher frequencies. I didn't expect that. There was just
too much QRN on the 4 Mhz frequencies to copy anything.<br>
I was using my 125 ft dipole up 40 ft, fed with ladder
line, with a Johnson KW match box and an ICOM 7300
receiver with bandwidth of 100 Hz.<br>
I really enjoyed hearing the stations. I was learning
the code in 1952-53 and I often used the coastal marine
stations weather broadcasts for code practice. This
really brought back memories of copying WLO and WCC in
those days, when I was 16. It was a moving moment for me
when about 0:120Z KPH called the roll of the now silent
coastal stations and then observed 3 minutes of silence.</div>
