Yikes, if you're a DXer & you weren't on this weekend, you aren't a DXer!
Worked a pile of EU on 10m CW & RTTY this morning. D2PFN and EA9IB for RTTY new ones. Then, a handful of JAs this evening - would have been more but ended up in ragchews with a Nevada station (rare DX for 10m this time in the cycle!) and a local 30km away. Then heard VR2BG on 12m (and worked him on 17). Plus FP on 80 for a new one on that band. And a strong UA0 on 20m RTTY. Gonna be a busy week for QSLing. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
ARGHHH!
And I was stuck doing other things all day, and never had a chance to turn the radio on! Will do so right now. -- ...

I 'm just happy to qso with vk0dx, Finn. 5:45z when the rest of the east
coast was asleep. Very unusual propagation actually got thru and recieved a 59 signal report. Extreme unusual conditions had to occur for me to hear him with my G5RV, via South Pole propagation. Definetly nice weekend for dx for me. "Doug Smith W9WI" wrote in message ... Yikes, if you're a DXer & you weren't on this weekend, you aren't a DXer!

D'oh! Why did you guys ever abandon what was once a very sensible call-area system? ;-) Because if we hadn't, I'd have to be something like "KW4XX". (think I'd have stayed in Wisconsin if we had to do that!) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

Yikes, if you're a DXer & you weren't on this weekend, you aren't a DXer! Yeah, yesterday was the best condx I've seen in 2 years. Even worked Mongolia and Thailand on 20 (east coast, dipole) and a whole bunch of new band-countries on 10 and 12. Now let's hope we have some of that propagation left for this weekend. I hope it won't be as bad as last year's X10 flare fest was!! 'Twas good today, but nothing like yesterday. 73 de Peter, W2IRT (ex-AB2NZ, VE3THX) Please reply to Double-you Two Eye Are Tee at Arrl.net |
