THE HAMRADIO DOT COM

The peak of the propagation was on the 21st Jan when there was one hour extremely good peak to Medellin, Colombia area. The band was full of unheard stations when usual Bogota dominants were absent. Also some NA/CA-condx but not many new ones for me. Reception report -wise I am much behind – sending out reports for stations heard in late December. And already heard almost 100 new stations this year!
