Difficult - I found it impossible.Due to work committments during the week, I was only able to listen on Saturday and Sunday. All of the cluster spots showed them to be on either 160m or 80m working the USA. The only time I heard them was on Sunday around 1730z for about 30 minutes they wer

I guess you can up your "easy" count by 1. I have managed to work them on all bands 10-80 including WARC, many on both CW and SSB. My main goal was to get them on 80 and 40 which I managed on the first couple of mornings. They were working NA with very good sigs in Colorado on both of those bands

About the difficulties of contacting AH3D ... my email showed eleven guys have said they also were puzzled abt splits, etc. and six said they had easy contacts. I have asked Carl of DX Magazine to allow me to write a short article advocating a style of operating for DX which may provide max exp

I also found them to be more difficult to work than I would have expected. Like others have said, when they were loudest here on 160m and 40m, they¨were calling "CQ JA" ...very frustrating. I understood the emphasis on Europe. The only occation we noticed any emphasis on Europe was a window of

Nope, you are not alone. I finally got them, when Maarti had gone to 10M, and wasn't even working split yet. VP6DI and some others were easy by comparison. It seems every time they were coming in well, they were either not wroking NA, or were working by districts. That would be fine, except they wo

Only problem that I had was on 40 CW. Spent 3 hours calling Saturday morning with no luck although he was 599. Worked Mattie this morning on LSB 40 on the 4th call. Got them on every thing else fairly easy. Personal, I think they did an outstanding job. JV Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ

Hello Charles, Perhaps I just happened to " hit it right ", but I had no problem in working the guys at AH3D on 10 through 80 meters within 1 to 5 calls. The only exception was 17 meters, where I had no propagation and could only hear a whisper. 73, Kent - K4MK Charles Harpole wrote: > Is it j
