Hey Peter, I had problems working them on 30 till Don told me to try my 80m
dipole. Worked much better then my 40m yagi or tribander. That and a Heath
tuner got them on 30, 12, and 17. The problem I had with 30 RTTY is that I
have a birdy of some sort right on 10.149, which is where they were
transmitting. The one night that I worked them, it miraculously shifted
down to 10.148, and I could hear them. 100 watts and a zillion:1 swr.
