Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
According to the spotting network, they were on 160 this morning (EDT). I think they may be their last day of operation?

Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
Yes, they were on 160m from approximately 1100z to 1200z. The 30m RTTY op went QRX. About 10 minutes later they showed up on 1826.5. Very weak signal with long and deep QSB. Definitely needed the K3 NR. The LP-PAN helped to determine who was calling. Mostly 9's and 0's getting in the log at their sunrise. KA6BIM and I from Oregon also made Qs. I'm curious what their antenna was. With the wind and it being the last day, I'm guessing that they loaded up one of the other antennas.

Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
They are on. The Elecraft rigs sound great (of course, I’m a bit biased)… I worked them on 21285 SSB a short time ago. They are presently very readable here in Northern California. Propagation conditions are much better today than yesterday with much lower QRN caused by solar conditions (geomagnetic storming). Keep trying. They are weak but workable. The K6TU propagation charts accessible from the TX3X web site are definitely a help. Stu has done a great job with his propagation site, worth checking out. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
Well, unfortunately here in the east, the solar flares have really made it difficult to hear them. I do not believe it is operator fault. Just unlucky that the sun decide to burp at the beginning and keep the A and K indexes up high. Now this may be a problem. I worked them on 12 CW and the QSO never showed. I did not work them on 10 SSB yet it shows a QSO there. So I have worked them finally both bands and now 12 CW shows but not 10 CW although they were worked 40 minutes apart. Oh well, maybe next time. 73, Tim Herrick, KQ8M k...@kq8m.com AR-Cluster V6 kq8m.homedns.org User Ports: 23, 7373 with local skimmer, 7374 without local skimmer Server Ports: V6 3607, V4 Active 3605, V4 Passive 3606 -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of ae...@carolinaheli.com Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2015 4:05 PM To: 'Jack Brindle'; ae...@carolinaheli.com Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air The issue is likely because my dipole is oriented towards EU..

[Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
Very weak but workable much of the day Saturday in Colorado on 21,023 Khz, listening up about 1.3 Khz. Early in the day there was some really annoying intentional QRM. I came back at 2300 Z and got in after just a few minutes. Signals even better around 0200Z, surprisingly. The P3/ K3 gets the credit, as well as the ops on the DXpedition.

Re: [Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air
I just worked them on both 12 and 15 meters with the first call at just after 0200Z. They don't seem to be inundated right now. Signal was actually better on 12 meters, but pretty decent on both bands! I don't see them spotted on 17, 20, or higher right now.
