Well I can assure you thats its just as difficult
to hear them in northern europe also. I understand they have been
loud on 40m but i do not work that band. I dont think they have been
on 30m nor RTTY yet but I am always hopeful.
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...

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
