Must be nice to even hear them. In SW Ohio I've only heard them twice: Once
on 40 and once on 30. They were 579 on 40 but barely audible on 30. Wire
antennas and 100 watts makes this one a pretty tough catch. Unless something
amazing happens luck-wise or propagation-wise this will remain on my growing
'missed' list.
Still stuck on 320.....

The K7C Web site: http://www.cordell.org/htdocs/KURE/
The DXA Web site: http://www.cordell.org/DXA

While the DXA is cool, it is a little confusing. I had a solid RTTY QSO
with K7C on 27-Sep and it still does not show up in the log and neither
does others that worked K7C about the same time. Having to work them
again just creates QRM and is not good. I uploaded my Q to LoTW and will
see what happens later. Hopefully, i am in the real log.

The enemy of good is better and the older style online logging reports
were good. The new 'better' DXA has some room for improvement.

I worked them again on 29-Sep and this time my call showed up on the web
page. Getting in the log is harder than working them.

Don't feel bad. It's rough for anyone East of the Mississippi. A beam
certainly helps. But they are weak as you know what here in Bama.

I think they have overcome some of the startup problems. I managed to
get greenies for 15 meter RTTY and 80 meter SSB. The greenies popped
up as well as my call shortly after the QSO. The web page is pretty cool

It is probably worst for GM. They have to work right through the North
magnetic pole to reach K7C. That is the way it was with MI when VU4 was on
the air. -- very, very weak signals and no apparent understanding of
propagation.

I don't know which way they are beaming but it sure as hell isn't south.
I've checked many of their skeds, the cluster and the KH6 beacon and neither
can be heard at this location, but boy, I can sure hear the pileups in
response. I guess it was not meant to be. Perhaps having a JA call might
help me.

Perhaps next time.
