Being on the west coast I'm not sure I'll be able to do you much good but I'll try. I sometimes hear stations that Kevin doesn't particularly in the QRN season. At the time of the 40m ECN the band is a little short for the east coast from here but I usually hear K1THP a few dB above the noise. My propagation predictor says its usually a very lossy double F-layer hop and marginal with a 5 watt or less signal. Much better chance a station in the mid-west will be able to relay.
Keep trying. Someone will get you through. 73, Brian, K0DTJ On 12/4/2011 5:32 PM, alb...@embarqmail.com wrote: > It’s very seldom that my little KX-1 (#608) with my stealth doublet can make > it all the way from NC to KD5ONS. > > It’s especially disappointing that none of the four stations that blasted in > here 599 plus on the 40m net – who I would think MUST have been able to hear > me, at least a little – would relay.
