Steve HA0DU - there is no need to react so painfully to reality.


Do you think that if in a log of 70 QSOs only 2-3 are real, then this is 
normal?


This is not only not normal, it is a tragedy. Severe incurable disease.


However, I am not against the expedition. I wish you success Steve in 
your new country. I have normal RX antennas and will also try to listen 
(if there is CW).

Greetings to All,

W8S took place in early October, when the common darkness with Europe
was much shorter (most probably none with Western Europe). Do ot
compare apples with oranges. E51D, 5W0LM, T2C, W8S, E6AM all worked
some EU, even if it was not their main target!

Nick, could you please STOP your negative comments!
I am sure most of Top Banders would like this operation to happen. I
am also sure George is a very good operator, and it is about time that
someone with the proper equipment and skills, puts KH8 on the map.

Yours truly

Re: Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 250, Issue 20

[GEORGE WALLNER]

John,
Originally my inquiry was general, but it has now morphed into a European 
one, as working EU seems to be the most challenging, and that is where the 
need seems to be most acute.


There will be some common darkness both at my SS (W-EU) and SR (E-EU), but 
signals to N. and central EU will have to go right over the pole. EA and G 
will have a slightly better path at my SS.

There will be lots of time for NA and SA (and Asia if there will be demand).
GL and 73,
George,

Hello TobBanders,
I am in American Samoa (KH8) and will be in the Manua Islands, AH54 (OC-77),
later this week. I may have a chance to set up a 160 m station and operate
for a few days. How much wanted is KH8 on TB? ClubLog indicates that it is
quite rare at #30 on 160 m, but I find that hard to believe for a place

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Hi JC,
Thanks for the info on propagation. I am sure you are right, but we will be 
on a north facing beach, with not much chance for LP to anywhere.


EU and NA East Coast will be very challenging, but that is why we do 160.
I will be testing a new vertical antenna for 160 that meets USFWS 
requirement for a maximum height of 45 feet (13.7 m) and no top loading 
wires! I am fairly confident that it will work (with salt-water ground) but 
if necessary, I will extend the antenna to 65 feet and add top loading 
wires. It may be that we will be a bit weaker in the first few days.


73,
George

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Jose,
Will get something going, either from Ofu Island (part of the Manua group) 
or from the main island of American Samoa (Tutuila Island).


The problem for any low band operation from the main island of American 
Samoa is geography. Only the south side of the the island is easily 
accessible, with very steep mountains to the north blocking the NA and EU 
directions. There are a couple of mountain tops that recent DXpeds used, but 
these places have no room for large antennas and are very noisy with a lot 
of MW, TV, FM, cell and other sites. I don't think anybody ever operated 
from the Manua Islands, as they are pretty remote, but they have much better 
locations for the low bands. (I have to go there to do survey for a dive 
operation.)
On Ofu Island we may be able to set up on the beach on the north shore, 
which is open enough to the north to give us a chance to work EU on 160 
meters. 80 should be easier. I know that conditions are poor but we got 
power and will use the salt-water for ground. Noise should not be a problem. 
Weather may be, however.
As a fallback, I have also scouted out a beach on the north shore of the 
main island (Tutuila) and got permission form the land-owner, but that 
location is less open to the NE and the southern part of EU. If we have to 
set up there, that would be towards the end of November.

I will post when we know for sure that we can set up on Ofu.
Fingers crossed!
73,
George,
AA7JV

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB

[Wes]

Clive,

Point taken with a couple of buts.

1)  Optimum time for me in AZ is my sunrise, which today is 13:40Z.  My previous 
QSOs were at 13:25 and 13:30Z.  At this time most of EU, NA and SA are in 
daylight, minimizing QRN and QRM.


Your best opportunities are ~16:30Z; broad daylight for me and ~06:00Z, where 
all of NA and SA are dark, maximizing my QRN and QRM.


2)  I would imagine that George, or any other DXpedition, wants to make contacts 
and not call CQ
endlessly without answers, because the potential callers don't need a QSO.  I 
would only call in that circumstance.


Regards, Wes  N7WS

Make an analysis of all recent Oceania logs:

I won’t argue - several European stations with super reception have a 
small chance...


But mostly those who use 10-20 kilowatts + WEBSDR will have “contacts”.

Hello TobBanders,
I am in American Samoa (KH8) and will be in the Manua Islands, AH54 
(OC-77),


later this week. I may have a chance to set up a 160 m station and 
operate
for a few days. How much wanted is KH8 on TB? ClubLog indicates that it 
is

quite rare at #30 on 160 m, but I find that hard to believe for a place
recently activated by a number of groups.


TKS,
George,
AA7JV

Wes I would add that if you have worked it before and its confirmed, then give 
those that do not have it a chance. After all it’s a local for the West coast.

I worked W1AW/KH8  twice (5 min apart---must have been insurance) almost exactly
9 years ago. Nothing before or after.

Re: Topband: KH8 Demand on TB

[Jan Erik Holm via Topband]

KH8 is very much needed on 160. Pacific is always very
difficult from way north in Europe.

Even if it recently has been activated it hasn´t been possible
to work it. Forexample the W8S exp (I know not KH8) was
calling them for 45 minutes but since they had rotten
receive due to local noise it was not possible.

Hi George,
When it comes to 160, I am VERY small potatoes. I have worked KH8 twice on
topband:
November 2013 - W8A for a new one on 160. (I was still in W6 land.)
November 2014 - W1AW/KH8. (This was from VA, FM08.)
