It Sat, 17-May at about 1515z and i have spent (wasted) three plus hours trying
to work W1AW/0 (SD) on 18.105 RTTY. W1AW/0 (SD) has an excellent, easy to
print signal but really seems deaf. I have tried every trick I know and he does
not hear. His macros are perfect but i have no idea what he means by UP.
- I have tried up 1, up 2, up3, up 4 and up 5 and nothing seems to work.
- i listened for other stations working him and tried to tail gate and that did
not work
- I don’t think the problem is on my end as I saw a spot and worked W1AW/0 (SD)
on 10 meter RTTY with one or two calls.
- He seems to be working a number of JA stations that I cannot hear so my
conclusion is he has a very good beam that is fixed and has a really good null
in my direction.
- I have tried parking 2 or 3 UP and waiting for the next “...TU W1AW/0 UP” and
that was another time waster.
I finally gave up. Some things in life are just too hard. I have no idea what
the operator means by UP
