On 40mb.....

Monitor's Note:

There was heavy  noise on 40mb enitirely.And  early in the morning from 0651ist (0125utc) when I started monitoring on 40mb , motor boat noise was observed from 7050 to 7065kHz.It was severe.I could not copy anything as such of The Belgaum Net today morning.

The motor boat noise vanished later but another type of  heavy noise usually found on the band some time covered the entire 40mb more or less.Though I could hear the signals...of hams in QSO on 7070kHz lsb ...viz.VU3HZW..VU3INI ??..but very difficult to understand.On 7145kHz lsb I could hear VU2FRD...VU3SAQ...etc ...but with difficulty..

But today noise vanished all of a sudden at 0847ist(0317utc)..

And yesterday also heavy noise was there, it vanished just at 0838ist(0318utc).

So, again from on
