Re: Topband: 3B7A
The problem will be getting him to hear you. I was calling in a pile on 20 SSB yesterday when he announced that they had another station coming up at 18130. I doubt that anyone else heard that, considering the out of control mob. I tuned up there and he was calling CQ at a solid S7 on my K3S. He announced he was listening up 5. As soon as he did I started calling, and calling and calling... He answered no one for what seemed a long time until he was spotted and then he answer a few guys, obviously hearing them with considerable difficulty. Boggles my mind that they went on a major expedition with (AFAIK) unproven equipment. Wes N7WS On 4/8/2018 6:39 PM, Gary Smith wrote: Elusive again tonight but a better signal than yesterday. Only heard him well at the beginning of GL and he dropped off 30 min later. Could hear EU calling him clearly before GL so the band was in decent shape still. Going to be tough for me to hear him at this QTH but that's the game. GL to all, 73, Gary KA1J _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: 3B7A
He was good copy out here in KH6 land, happened to tune the band at 1600Z and he was 559, later he came up to 579, heard him an hour past sunrise and still going. JT1CS was also on the band about 1600Z. too late of course for most USA but they may be on earlier than that, Good hunting, 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 Elusive again tonight but a better signal than yesterday.
