... (Peter Lemken) said : However, a new operator is supposed to join the team within the next two days and he will at least bring an amplifier and *experience* to the island. Most of the operators are not aware of the European opening times, which is why the level of frustration is so high among the European stations. Peter, Not just EU is frustrated. Even modest stations in the northeastern parts of North America are having a tough time of it, both due to bad propagation in the last few days and inexperienced operators. W1s especially, but 2's aren't much better off. For a station essentially off the coast of XE/W6 land it should be no problem for anybody in NA to work them reliably on most bands, but it's not the case. Nothing here on 10 or 12 at all (although I suspect that's propagation - MUF hasn't been above 22 or 23 MHz for the last week at my QTH), only a faint whisper on 40 last week and nothing on 80 (though many in NA did get them on 80, they were inaudible here). For ten meters it is certainly propagation. They were 20 over nine in Oregon for hours a couple days ago, and were having very little luck with anything east of the Rockies. On 30 meters the signal has ranged anywhere from "Yeah it's on the cluster but I can't hear squat" to "Why can't they hear anything but W6s, they are S9 here?" ;-) -- ...
