Re: Topband: 7Q7
In Virginia on both CW and FT8 nights he was barely readable on NE and SE beverages. However, solid copy from before sunset until his sunrise on 570' E beverage.

Lucky guys, not a peep so far on the West Coast. If they stay a few more days, maybe we'll be lucky too...

Re: Topband: 7Q7
Tom I'm using a 470 foot E/W Beverage here in Florida on receive and a 60' high "T" with four 90' elevated radials for transmit (TS890/KPA1500) . The CW operation the first night was quite a QSB roller coaster and I had no success catching the right xmit frequency with the peaks. The second night on FT8 I was a bit luckier finally logging them at 02:15 though they were not as strong on average as the first night. For comparison a friend, 30 miles south of me who lives on an ocean access salt water canal only heard one decode all night on his 65' high inverted V ( He usually kicks my behind on 80M though) My sense is that the propagation favored the upper Midwest the first night and that Europe clearly had the edge the 2nd night, It did not seem to be all that many USA getting through.

Topband: 7Q7
Tom, He was about S6 the other night in Kansas. First heard 2330Z, but much better from 0010 to 0030Z. I worked him at 0020Z in about ten calls. Antenna was an inverted L, and RX was a 650 ft Bev to the SE. He was similar strength on the NE Bev as SE, but my noise level is much higher NE. 73, Drew K3PA Message: 5 Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2020 18:12:07 + (UTC) From: Thomas Hoyer To: "k2q...@gmail.com" , "k2av@gmail.com" Cc: "topband@contesting.com" Subject: Re: Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night Message-ID: <663192482.321269.1605809527...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Would be interested in hearing (no pun intended) what type of antenna you, or anyone heraing the 7q7, are using TomW3TA _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
