I was there.Too bad the band was DEAD. :evil: 20m was not sounding too healthy either. :?I'll likely be on 80m from 0400-0600 UTC if that's any good.

wish I was able to get 80m

15, 17, 20 and 40 is it for me

Yeah the band wasn't all that great here either. I did make a few contacts tho. Brithish Columbia, Florida as the band faded.
Had a JF3 call and had a nice QSO with Nobu in Kato Japan. Had a VK5 call ,but just rotten conditions to AU land. Last contact was with KH6CB, Sonny in Hawaii, I'm sure a lot of the forum members have talked to Sonny on 11 meters :shock: . It is all fun tho thats for sure.

Garth, what freq on 80? I will see if I can hear you and talk to you. Hope the low bands are streched out. Actually 40 might be good for that long of a hop. I know my vertical just loves reaching out to those distant stations.

Hey Joe, why no 80m? Just no antenna or what?

Hi Ed

Just can't seem to tune it in.

I run a full wave inverted V at 50 ft but I can't tune 80 in at all, I can listen but the match is pathetic

I usually cruise just below the USA phone band. .I also spend a fair bit of time 3790-3800 looking for DX. 40m may offer a better path but sometimes the shortwave broadcast QRM is :shock: here on the coast.Why not pick a freq. on either 40m or 80m and I will try and be there at 0500 UTC? 80m tends to be quite busy at that time but something low in the band may not be too bad.You pick the freq. as you are more restricted in your band priviledges than I am.Actually I have no restrictions as to what mode as long as I stay within the band edges.

Garth, do you operate any PSK31? That might be the best chance for a QSO that late. I will call CQ DX on 7.070.15 at 05:00 utc, If I get no response I will call on 3.580.15 at around 5 past.
Let me know

I do have PSK31 capability and can give it a try.(Oh great ,more typing) LOL. I will be there and give a listen.Better hook up the computer to the rig again I guess. It is no problem,I just unhooked things for something else.

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

Not sure but I may have a problem. What audio freq you using??

I found you on 80m 1800Hz but I have a problem with TX audio :x
