I worked them on 15m SSB yesterday afternoon and the QSO does not show in
the on-line log. Wonder if I worked a slim?

Does anyone know their departure date?

High line noise here but worked him fairly easily on 20 meters.

FWIW, the count of different calls with which 3Y0X has been spotted on
DX Summit is now up to at least five, not counting 3Y0X...

Got 'em on 20CW about an hour ago.

Lucked out. Heard the op send not just "UP" but "UP 2" -- it so happens
my rig is set up such that if I hit SPLIT it automatically sets up a
2KHz split. Punched it once to clear the "wrong" split, again to get it
on +2, hit the paddles -- and worked 'em on the second call.

Sometimes you just get luckygrin!

Dear Doug: Something much like that happened to me. While trying to
contact them on 15 CW (where they were just weak) I punched in the 24 MHz
SSB frequency (where they were too weak to work in a pileup) only to hear an
announcement (by the operator) of the frequency where the operator was going
to listen. It would have been futile to have tried in a pile up. I gave
him a 34 (or some such) and he replied that I was a "true" 59. Hard to
explain.

Thank God! The new log has all the lost contacts.

Happy days.

Thank God! The new log has all the lost contacts.

It's Iridium and the ops you need to thank.
I don't think God puts Peter I very high on
her list of priorities right now.

Last night was a good night.

Managed to land 'em on 80 & 40 CW, and then on 40 SSB for my first phone
QSO with the island.

The pileups were a lot better-behaved in all three places. (40CW had
been a madhouse most of the week) On 80 it was nearly perfect.
Apparently most of the lids:

- were asleep
- were jamming somewhere else (30m?)
- finally managed to burn out their finals (we can only hope)
- were too busy participating in the Disease Discussion Net
- thought the station calling CQ on 3523 was K3YO & not worth messing with

I see there's some RTTY activity showing up - maybe???

(a few folks reported 'em on 10 meters late yesterday morning but not
even a hint here.

ARRL.org reports the guy on the Space Station worked them - on 2 meters...)

Conditions are much better today to 3Y0 land. Just went to listen on 14.023
and there they were. Put in the second VFO and found who he was in QSO
with. Made exactly 1 call. He came right back. That's with 500w to Mosley
3 element.

Congrats!

I managed a RTTY QSO on 15 a few minutes after making that post; went
out for a bike ride, and when I got back caught 'em on 12m CW and SSB
and on 10m SSB. (they were spotted on 10 CW at the time as well, but
not even a hint here on CW.)

I gave the 28023 a listen and could just tell they were there. Quite
interesting tho.

Same here. One call.

Forty was an entirely different can of worms. What an embarrassment.
