XF4DL: how are folks doing?
Worked 'em every where you wanted to yet? Are they hearing Europeans
and Asians as well as they're hearing us in the USA? (judging from the number of JA calls I hear them working, I don't *think* anyone in Asia has any complaints coming!) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

I didn't even know about them. sigh I've been inactive the last 3 years; just started playing on HF again. Are they working PSK31 or RTTY on the expedition? (I dragged the 706 out but haven't found the microphone, and I think my paddles are still in the garage.) _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD ken . kuzenski at duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |

Don't know how they are doing,but in my area they are hardly audible on any of the HF bands, do not do 40m or 80m or 160m. Mainly interested in RTTY tried 17m for two days but the conditions appear to favour the Southern countries so had no luck. Will keep trying, glad I got the XF4 the last time on a couple of bands on SSB. 73 de Charlie GM4UZY. |

I worked them on PSK31 on 30 meters yesterday morning. DX Summit said they were on 17 RTTY at the time too, but I couldn't find them there. If you can find the microphone, you can use the up/down buttons as a paddlegrin... -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com Well I got them on 20 SSB and 20 CW. The OM got them on 15, 17, and 40 SSB. Dee, N8UZE |

I found the mike, and caught one of the ops on 21295 simplex; that's number 191 worked for me. It was my first phone ops in 3 years, and I think a general dislike for SSB pileups is part of why I went inactive for a while. I've been in some RTTY pileups and even a few PSK pileups, but for some reason the digital pileups seem much less frantic, and much easier on my system. Not so many "cops" yelling "HE's working UP, you LID!" for one thing. :-) I've really enjoyed PSK; hope more expeditions to exotic places will be including it when they plan their modes/bands. _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD ken . kuzenski at duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |

At least on the MKIIG there's a menu option that allows that. I've made dozens (probably about 200) CW contacts on mine that way. It does take some practice.
