As for the past few months, any upswing of F2 into the 30-50 MHz region
is invariably associated with a geomagnetic disturbance of some kind.
(e.g., Dec 17-18, 29). During the period a lot of unidentified stations
were in via Es.
Over the past few years there have been several paging stations that
have quit operation (or moved to high band). A few of these are listed
below with the last known owner in the hope that some members in the
respective areas might make inquiry into their current status. Some
haven't been heard in nearly 3 years and owners are over 5 years old.
KME 437 35.58 Santa Cruz Telephone Service (CA)
KIG 837 35.58 Answering Nashville (TN)
KOF 328 35.58 General Communications Service (Tucson, AZ)
KAA 893 43.58 New York Tech Inst, Cincinnati, Inc (St. Louis)
KQC 884 43.58 '' '' '' (Highland Park, MI)
KQC 877 43.58 '' '' '' (Cincinnati, OH)
These all were voice pagers but may have gone to A2 tone methods now.
with the rapid decline in Cycle 20, this may well be the last winter
season for F2 DX in the 30-50 MHz range for a good while to come.
