Once again -- in this CQ WW SSB test -- I see the way Europe has painted itself into a corner.... Over the last few years, EU has built many HUGE contest stations.... super power and antennas. However, now the mass of RF in that relatively small space means they can only hear one another. For me in HS to call EU successfully takes more effort than it is worth.... and of course, a run freq from here is difficult due to the huge EU stations.......... that never point their beams to S E Asia, anyway.
Oh well, there is always the great polite JAs. 73 Charles Harpole HS0ZCW [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- You are absultely right - particularly on phone and on the lower bands. On CW it is easier to get by by using narrow filters. 40 usually yields excellent openings to Asia in the afternoon during wintertime. But during CQ WW phone-contest - forget it. Too many overmodulated Italians and eastern Europeans around. 73 " RAG " Ragnar Otterstad LA5HE JW5HE OZ8RO Located in Telemark - Home of skiing.
