Hi ALl Just got back from the CW site. I worked W1NA via LP at about 2237z on 1805.5 qsx 1808.5 I do this set of frequencies to try to focus on NA at both SR and SS - as it helps keep a bit of order out of ASIA and EU. Still some do CALL outside their allowed band segments. This was my first breakthrough to the NA east coast on 160m - I heard no other callers - I was there from 2150z to 2250z cq'ing for NA steadily. Wish there had been others... I will be back at SS again looking for NA Next to me on 80m about 3505 - K1LZ managed to work my brother K3ZM via the LP also - there may have been others. Part of the problem on 80m is that one cannot HIDE from unwanted callers - W3LPL had a tough slog to get through the very loud JA callers - I am sure it would have been much easier if Asia had stopped calling. But it is what it is. We know many want their Q and get impatient - it happens and we just have to go with the flow - HI. We will there again at our SS - 1805.5 for 160m and around 3505 for 80m. Keep your ears on pls! 73 JEFF K1ZM
