I have a solid (and surprise) SSB on 18 (dipole w/100w from my
weekend house in MD) and CW on 40 and 20, also barefoot. 3 "maybes",
if my call isn't busted, on 20 and 40. I have a fair antenna system
here in NJ and a big amp to boot.
I found them generally hard to copy even with headphones and a good
imagination, and If they came back to me, I may not have propagation
at that particular millisecond in time, or there my be a static burst
or QRM although. How can I be sure that the "radio november" or "echo
radio" was MY call without being a hog and branded as a poor op?
No complaints. THEY'RE the DX, and THEY can work it any way they damn
well want to. I didn't find the tuner-uppers, wrong VFO guys and
Southern Europeans any worse than any other DXpedition. They're just
part of the game as far as I'm concerned, but of course I have 2
modes pretty solid.
A new one is a new one is a new one. Thanks, guys.
