I agree with Jose. I have poor antennas and worked KH8SI twice (two bands). But despite the DX operators on this xpedition, the stations they're running do leave something to be desired.
The other night on 17 mtr, I worked Samoa and another island grp each only abt 400 mi or less from KH8SI. The other two stations were over S9. KH8SI was in the noise. So not only do they possibly have a wall of noise (you can not imagine what it sounds like unless you've experienced it), but they may have weak RX signals to boot. The op last night on 20M was good. But they don't seem to have a grasp of where their signal is going (propagation). But again perhaps the generator noise problems there also contribute to some of the strange operating patterns heard. What we all need is patience and listen listen listen. The hardest skill to learn in radio is not to key the rig right away! 73 Ed KE3D -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
