Propagation is just a small part of the game. It is a big part of the game up here in the North . This morning, 27 sept o6 UTC I checked the signals spotted on the clusters. The only audible signal was on 40 meters SP, with auroal flutter. The forecast is not particularly optimistic either,

You cant believe how weak they have been through the Auroral belt from Sandinavia !! Working over the North Pole is our biggest problem as the band often is not even open at all. We were delighted that K7C was manned by " experienced operators " which suggested they knew this. So far it has been

I have been reading all of the mail concerning the K7C operation and gosh I feel guilty.. I only need KURE on 10 meters but when I set there and listen to a 20 over nice signal I just have to work them I really hope I haven't kept some one, who needs them, from working them... But guys

Propagation is just a small part of the game. Most hams think the JA's are polite and orderly in a pileup. But when you get close enough to Japan to hear the 5 watters you find out they can be just as unruly as any Italian or American pileup. At XZ0A, the only way I could hear or work anyone

I noticed this with KH9/W0CN yesterday too. I caught him on SSB yesterday afternoon and pointed out that he had big signals on 40 to the USA during our SR but was working JAs at that time. I asked if he would listen for us, but was kind of disappointed in his answer. I guess we'll just have to

I approve of that attitude. If you dont need it, let somebody else have a go. 73 Rag LA5HE I would think you would not call, on a band you have confirmed, on the first day. Is it possible someone that needs Kure did not get through since you were calling? Bill W4WX - Original Message -

I second that feeling. I was able to break the JA wall this morning on 40 before my sunrise. However, they also showed up on 80m with a very good signal into Colorado just before my SR. Many 0s, 6s & 7s were calling and calling yet they continued to work mostly JAs. I listened for a while befor

One of my pet peeves is DX operations that don't observe propagation. I called K7C a bit this morning on 40 CW at 1300Z and they were working mostly JA's. At that time they only had a short amount of time left for propagation to USA and another several hours to JA. Best utilization of propag
