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.

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.

anyone heraing the 7q7, are using
