>From my landlocked 4 square in somewhat frozen and snowy Alberta, Friday was mostly what I'd call a normal evening, i.e. not very good. The bigger stations on the east coast are workable (VY2ZM and N4PN were consistently loud), Europe is a dream (and yes, we consider VO1/2 to be part of Europe for this one...) and the Carribean was workable but not many of them to pick from. I only called CQ here from almost 0800 thru 0930 and the best mults that answered were VE9HF and KH6AT but I listened a fair bit (and made a few Perseus recordings earlier) and gave out the multiplier to whomever heard me.
It never ceases to amaze/confuse me that when I'm searching and calling stations, anyone that isn't fairly solid copy will virtually NEVER hear me. Yet when I call CQ, I get stations answering me that are so weak I'd never even consider calling them, yet they often comment on how loud I am. They can't all be QRP.... 73 Don VE6JY On Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 7:16 PM, Steve <a...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > The only thing I heard last night was KH7Y and N4PN calling CQ...I > couldn't get Paul's attention > 73, Steve KH6/AA4V > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Feb 25, 2012, at 9:07 AM, "chacuff" <chac...@cableone.net> wrote: > > > Anyone care to comment on last evenings propagation for the CQ SSB > contest? > > > >> From the deep south there just was no DX going on.
