 4W6A
They are off and running, and I watched my Cellphone on DX Summit while I was at a miserable Installation dinner I couldn't get out of. But the food was good so I was well fed, and for FREE! I LIKE Free.
Meanwhile, the 4W6A was busy working most of SoCal on 24Mhz, and faded out just as I got home. He then went to 15M and I could just BARELY hear him, though at 10PM at night, that was remarkable to hear him at all. I called a few times with the Kilowatt, and the QSB was so bad I don't know if he heard me or not.
Maybe tomorrow night I can start earlier and see if he can be worked. This is MOST IMPORTANT, as a QSO with him will qualify me for the Honor Roll!
They will be on until Sept 26, so no worries yet. Tonight is the first bit of operation. But if I can get a good SIG on him, think chances are excellent of making a contact!

Good luck Pat, hope you get him!

Pat I hope you get that one I been watching him to to nothing here. I would proud to see you or anyone make the Honor Roll something I probably will never see due to age and health issues. That and Top of the Honer Roll are really something to be proud of my hat is off to all of you who have.
Pat Good Luck and Good DX

Come on MHZ. He's on 20 right now and really lud into West Coast. I was able to work him here in Wyoming with him at a 5/6. Not terrible for that part of the world. He is picking off 6s left and right.
WHERE ARE YOU???

Just above the noise here . . . not yet workable I don't think.

Haven't heard many 4s working him. Mostly 6s,7s,and 0s (obviously). They are listening over 15khz, and the callers are enormous.
There was certainly some anticipation for this one I can tell.

I only noticed them on the cluster last night and only then because I was playing around. I tried listening but heard little to nothing. I don't even have a clue where 4W is (I'll look after making this post)! I'll likely never make honor roll either, just out of pure laziness.
East Timor, huh? Thankfully they put up a map. They say they'll work smaller/weak signals later. Sure they will, just as soon as the Kilowatt crowd that have to work each expedition every hour on the hour for the length of the expedition get bored.

Should be an easy shot for you Pat.
You'll work them!
Of course then you will be obligated to spend a LOT of money on the Honor Roll plaque!

This morning I was at the Chino Hills swapmeet scoring a Drake R4A! I listened to the pileups on the way back to San Diego, but when I got here, they went to 75 and 40 working JAs and ZLs.
I am WAITING PATIENTLY to see if he will come up on SSB somewhere.
No stateside propogation at the moment. I am hoping for another shot at 24 and 28 Mhz like they did last night while I was at a Meeting!
