Interesting conditions here last night. I heard a whole lot of DX that simply could not hear me. I'm running QRP and don't expect to work everything I hear but one thing for sure, the overall conditi

I'm not sure why you would be surprised running QRP that stations that were "loud" couldn't hear you. You're at a 13 db disadvantage at a minimum. Ad in clix (and there plenty of them) plus QRM the g

Yes, it was a good night. Dave, W0FLS and Toni, N0NI, are two guys who pulled my QRP signal out. Thanks also to W5MX and someone signing a club call in Gulfport, MS who heard me and gave me KY and MS

This is only part of it. Just one example from a few years ago in a 160 contest; There was a very loud station in the Caribean, and he was running EU, and doing quite well. Many NA stations calling h

Hi Gary, I previously was amazed at some loud stations (like 20 or 30 dB over S9) that could not hear my 100 watt station, and I thought it was due to the fact that they were using directional RX ant

We are often forced to run with fairly narrow bandwidths (I had to run last night with 250 Hz) with stations sometimes being spaced out only 300 or 400 Hz. I had several occasions last night when som

Like Dave, you have articulated the issues pretty well. BTW -- I called you several times last night, but prop wasn't very good (I heard a half dozen NC stations, none of them very loud). 73, Jim K9Y

I felt like the SE US was under a propagation blanket. A look at RBN, NA spotted by EU nodes made us notable by our absence, K3ZM the notable exception of course. EU would pop in for a few minutes an

I'm thinking I need to add a qualifier to my earlier post; in no way am I complaining how hard it is to work QRP on 160 and for surer, it's harder on the station trying to make sense of such minuscul

One small request would be to NOT mention callsigns - at least during the 5 day "waiting period" for log submissions to be completed. Some folks may not be running assisted, may bust the odd call or
