Well, I found out where the band edges are for being picked up the RTTY RBN
skimmers :=) 40m, 20m, and 15m were so crowded at times that I was so high up
in the band that I wasn't getting spotted. Lots of unanswered CQs.
My HF9V is tuned for the CW part of 80m. I use relays to tune it at ~3.6MHz and
~3.7MHz. The KPA would trip on high SWR even with the KAT500 in line. When I
took the amp out of line and ran with 100W, no one could hear me and I wasn't
picked up by the RBN skimmers. Most of the 80m QSOs were using the
KPA500/KAT500 and the low (~15ft) 40m Inverted-V. Don't expect many more QSOs
than that on 80m in the SSB leg.
Similarly, I was never picked up by the RBN skimmers on 10m and none of the
stations I worked spotted me (as far as I can tell). I was asked to QSY from
15m to 10m but it didn't work out.
Other activities prevented me from putting in more time.
Thanks for the QSOs!
73.
