    We had some bad storms roll through here earlier in VA/MD area. I just checked this thread, hooked up the antenna and saw a spot on 14264 only to hear "K1T going QRT" Bummer!

    I threw out my call a couple times and Dave had a bit of trouble pulling me out but conditions finally prevailed. K1T is in the log!

    SO cool to me to get the DX-20 that you contributed to the K1T event in the log - I had to send slowly - this box needs new caps and was sagging on key down LOL! But totally Q5 copy from your QRP rig Steve.

    BIG thanks my friend

    Well, tonight was very lackluster - nothing like last night. I did get a few contacts on 10m but nothing like the 143 contacts last night on 20m before the band shut down.

    But nice to see my CW effort made it nicely into the DX Maps view :)

    Conditions were miserable yesterday/last night - although 20 stayed viable until 05:00-ish (UTC). LOTS of "one way propagation". Thursday night was to-date the only good propagation day/night of K1T!! I got 143 contacts in the log that night, CW and SSB. Last night? 28!!

    Today is the last day - been a fun event albeit very disappointing to prepare for almost two years only to have the propagation gods frown as they have.

    K1T runs until 23:59 UTC today - I'll be hitting the shack shortly for a last push to get folks in the log.

    QRZ Logbook currently (pun intended) has 555 contacts (another pun intended). :D

    Taking a 30 minute break to see if things improve when I get back.

    Really weird propagation - I'll work one station (OK, NC, etc.) and we're 59+ each way, neither of us with "super stations" - just normal 100W setups, with a Yagi at 47 feet here, other guy on a dipole. And then other stations in 4-land or 5-land I can barely hear in the noise (which is very light). It's frustrating!! I fell bad for all the folks trying to work K1T that I just barely make out but not enough to call it a contact.

    Ugh.

    I'll be back for another SSB stint at 22:00 Z and a if things hold, I'll end K1T staying on SSB for the final two hours.

    So how about I just call you at 2200? (directly). This is not a contest and schedules are totally fine by me.

    Or another time - now? in 15 minutes? You name it.... I'm here :)
