    FB!!! congrats! man, that is fast CW!!!

    Looks like 17M is the band to snag them on, but all I have is a miserable R5 vertical on that band. Am thinking about one of those MFJ 1775W rotatable dipoles; but at $250 not sure it is worth it.
    Sucks not having a good antenna for 17 and 12!

    The band police with southern accents are outdoing themselves. Doubt seriously if any of them will work the 7O but they are vowed and determined to keep everybody on the right track. The rarer the DX the worse they seem to be. Sorry folks but I've been licensed for 54+ years and this just keeps getting worse. Good operating practices seem not to count much anymore.

    Less of them on CW and the accents are gone.

    I gave up awhile ago I'm trying to work some other middle east stations that are getting a little less attention because of these guys

    Oh, Is that why that's done? Unfortunately the longer his working 7's the weaker his signals is getting.


    We'll try anyway,
