Here in New England, VU4NRO came up out of the noise on 14025 yesterday around 2015Z; his signal became progressively stronger until he QSY'd around 2030Z. The propagation was short-path; I heard nothing on the long-path.   Today,  he was an honest 559 at 1945Z, and I was able to work him on the second call -- right after W1ZK, but before the pileup apppeared. Again, the propagation was short-path. My antenna is a 4-element F12 at 80 feet. I listened for awhile, and heard many US stations make QSOs.   From this QTH, changes in VU4 signal strength are often abrupt; that could be the ionosphere, or it could be the VU4 ops rotating their beam.   Now for RTTY...       73,            Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell Kellam Jr Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2004 5:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DX-CHAT] VU4 Man I hope they get that 8 element tri-bander at 70 ft up and working!! Maybe I'll hear them in SE Virginia and I've been listening with a 6 bay Sterba Curtain. Have never heard them above the noise. 73 Russ W4UBC
