Hello Mike, Wow, that was quite the read from K7BV. Let's hope it sheds some light on just how difficult it is to operate from CY9 and the necessity to adjust according to environmental and atmospheric conditions.
In my opinion, the CY9C team is doing a great job. Other than for 12 meters, I've been able to work them on all the bands. Thanks for sharing Mike. 73, Bob K3UL -----Original Message----- From: Topband <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike Smith VE9AA Sent: Sunday, September 1, 2024 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Topband: CY9C topband CW I know virtually nothing about the current CY9C operation, but I was there in 1997 with K7BV and VE1PZ. I have no doubt at all judging by who is on the team, they are trying their best ! It's pretty rocky, but there is a 360* view and very close to salt water no matter where you are on the tiny north Island (rock) We had a pretty good signal (I think) on most bands from there "back in the day".
