be somewhere they really are not as in the past.
I hope nobody is lost in this mess.
(Last night I listened to 30M for hours and at 0751 they were really strong but guess
what "3Y0J JA up " three times and they never worked a JA and quit -I was
thinking they would say 3Y0J up and take off the JA like most but they apparently quit.
Oh well.(Of course it could have been a pirate - the ND7K RBN out in Wickenburg had them
same time . )
Bouvet would be a great candidate for AA7JV's Radio In A Box. And as
remote as they are, and as lightweight as they are (100W, very limited
antenna), they ought to be doing only CW and FT8. Thiery did a great job
lighting up Crozet with similar limitations with FT8 -- in addition to
its signal-to-noise advantages, there were no cops!
