Logs, March 12-15

I managed to get a few free hours to listen on Wednesday night (12th), and I was surprised how busy it was.  Unfortunately, I was still suffering s5 noise, so not great receptions.

On Friday morning, I replaced all of my coax feed, and fixed the noise.  I am very glad that I did, since the bands were filled on Friday and Saturday nights.  Conditions were fantastic (it seems the ionosphere is getting spring).  There were just too many good signals to mention them all, but it was nice to hear Carmen and Blackbeard for the first time,with great signals, and also Hit Mix Radio.  Great to hear Bordertim back on the air again, and it was a real treat to hear Baro with a very steady signal on 1625.

Thank you to all the stations for some very enjoyable listening.
