The home QTH - which we're selling in a few months - is like the cobbler's
shoeless children. A 500 watt amplifier, a ground mounted 2 band vertical, and
a low hanging G5RV that was chosen only because it fits between 2 convenient
trees and loads up equally poorly on several bands. SSB is generally a
hopeless mode for me here on 20-17-15-10 either because the antenna is not a
good match or because I'm a pipsqueak.
After hours of chasing them on RTTY and CW with no luck, I worked 'em on SSB on
the 2nd call on 20m this evening.
Go figure...

Well I finally worked them after........
1. Getting to the rig several times after they peaked in 6 land.
2. Calling for 30 mins before I realized the amp was off 3. Calling for 20 mins
before I noticed MMTTY marked managed to move to 1420 4. Calling for 10 mins
before I noticed the SteppIR was in the 180 mode
Having just returned from Vegas and revied my LUCK level, I'm 90% certain the
ARRL will no accept this DXpedition hi hi

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
