OK1CF/Karel heard about 0040 UTC calling CQ, very deep QSB going from Q5 copy down to nothing and back again. K4TL worked him from Florida but I was not heard.
I called CQ numerous times but no replies. Even with 500 watts I was not making it onto any of the RBN spotters from EU. Went up to 80 with 500 watts and was spotted by G4IRN. This is depressing. I don't have high hopes for the 160 meter contest in December. What a difference from 2009-2010 when 100 watts easily got me into EU and middle east.
