[DX-CHAT] XF4 80m and topband last night
Hi guys, Worked what I thought was XF4DL on 80 and 160 CW tonight, but a few cluster spots were saying pirate (WFWL and all that). Anybody know definitively if they were in fact QRV on the low bands? Their Web site is less than clear on the subject.

Peter, I was trying out the new K9AY array last evening and heard nothing from them or a pirate. However, must admit I was a pooped puppy last evening and was horizontal by 8:30 CDT(01:30Z) last evening. 73, Mike, W5UC http://members.cox.net/w5uc/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Dougherty Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 7:33 AM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] XF4 80m and topband last night Hi guys, Worked what I thought was XF4DL on 80 and 160 CW tonight, but a few cluster spots were saying pirate (WFWL and all that).

Peter I too worked them on 160 around 3 UTC. I was not in the web logs uploaded today on their site, BUT, there is no cutoff time noted on the logs so who knows. Now they appear to be qrt for the storm as forecasted but a presence on two bands sorta rules out a slim. Both signals were coming from the correct direction and West Coast was working them far easier than East Coast so I believe they were real. 73 Don N1DG At 08:32 AM 10/24/2006, Peter Dougherty wrote: Hi guys, Worked what I thought was XF4DL on 80 and 160 CW tonight, but a few cluster spots were saying pirate (WFWL and all that).

Well they were on the night before. I worked them on 1821.4kHz at 12:29Z on 10/22/06 and the on line log shows the QSO. I do think there have been some pirate operations using their call. I heard them on 10M and 12M very loud S9+++. The operational style was not the same. Nearly all of their CW operations have been extremely good and the CW was good. The CW heard on 10M and 12M was not smooth but choppy. This didn't discourage me from working them. I also think I had pirate QSOs on 80m and 30m. Same deal much louder and quite different CW style. But the online log is incomplete. What I read was that one of the files sent was corrupted and NG. So we must wait until either end of operation or perhaps after the storm. Hope they rode it out OK and ther antennas survived. We could all use another shot. Regards Ed KE3D mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Charley, K4VUD, announced he had mailed out these cards. Has any of you received yours yet? I haven't gotten mine and wondered if the mail is that slow from Thailand. Jim
