    was all excited when I heard a N6 calling, but checking QRZed, it turns out he is in FLORIDA!

    GL Pat, you might actually have a chance at snagging a Q or two with them from where you are...been trying for 6 days but they seldom get on iin the evenings...

    Saturday morning is my last shot. Maybe Sunday. West Coast has been working them about 9AM local. Of course, that is the BIG GUN stations with monster towers and beams. My squeaky setup couldn't even HEAR the 7O while everyone else in town had them 5x9

    GL Pat, hope you snag them for that "new" one...obviously, the "need your input" isn't of much help LOL.
    Heard them on briefly and I mean briefly on 17 last nite, with very marginal signal (again, on too late for our region aboud 2-3 hours too late), and then promptly went to 12 meters to work JAs again....

    What a hoot...between the DX Cops, the Cluster Clowns, the marginal Prop, minimal activity for NA, it has been difficult to say the least...

    Hang in there..Left Coast usually has some prop moreso then our area for sure.


    SUpposedly, they are running TS-590s and Amps. Should be able to hear from there (less noise).

    Right now, the 6O3A, A5A and E40VB pileups are all close together, overlapping and one big QRMfest
    We have the opposite - weak Pacific with strong South East Asia
    Listen for today's A5A sounds on ten meters - lonely CQing, work simplex. No pile up at all.

    No pile there, because most everyone has made multiple contacts..not so from this part of the globe...Hi.

    Gone right after you announced that...LOL
    They always go QRT when the prop begins to favor our area...E Coast has been able to work them..but not many here..spoke to quite a few locals here really PO'd about that too...last nite some one was on 17 SSB, dinked around simplex (what a fiasco that was) and on cue, left after 20 minutes and went to 12 meters...yeah..that will help!
