Hi Don, Dez and the community,
congrats for the QSO on 30m! I hope there would be more activity
in the mode RTTY on this band. During the past I had many EU-QSO's
and some DX-QSO's. But you need a lot of patience. The conditions
are there but no RTTY-HAM's. :-(
I am sure you all know; in EU the band for digi modes is: 10140..145 kHz!
If someone will try RTTY on 30m, I have created a little propagation
matrix for some areas, in the sense of: "which time is the best now".
JA W3 W6
DL 1830--2030 0000--0500 0300--0500
JA 1000--1030 1000--1330
W3 0230--0630
BTW: What's about a "WARC Day" (30/17/12m) in the future, several
times during the year? It is my opinion, that RTTY-HAM's should
be everywhere at every time. ~:)
Unfortunately I am not able to be on the bands tonight; have to be on
a birthday party of a good friend ;-)
