===============================================================
* not computed for these coordinates as the decades-old xmtr
coordinates may not be the same as the current ones and this
location is only c. 1.5 miles s.e. of my current (since June
1972) location, so those later values have been attached here
The "XEWs" here may include other Ch 2s of the Network.
By this time relog times were being noted with a more-liberal
policy (any means that a solid ident could be determined was
acceptable - local ads, weather, etc). I had learned by late in
1962 that 10/15-m short-skip Es could serve as an early-warning
for it to appear on TV, and that was heavily utilized with my
newly-acquired SX-110 - especially early on in the summer season.
I quickly realized that hearing very-short Es on h.f. puts the
midpoint too near to be of use for me on low-VHF!
April brought me my first trans-Gulf tropo (luckily the antenna
was fix-aimed s.e.!). This was followed by what then many 6-m
operators acclaimed as the "best Es season" noted. Nov provided
my first ms ident (though many bursts had been seen during the
Aug Perseids). My getting licensed as a Tech and getting on 6m
in late Dec was to provide a synergy for the next few years with
operations there and TV-DXing (tho many years would pass before
I had my "own" dedicated TV co-located with the 50-MHz rig).
This was also the first year that I kept accurate end-start times
of the TV Es events that enabled me to construct a diurnal plot
http://www.qsl.net/images/tvessu63.gif for May-Aug 1963. That same
type of Es data collection process was later extended to other VHF
frequencies and continues in the 88-108 MHz band now nearly fifty
seasons afterwards.
