Clive,
Point taken with a couple of buts.
1) Optimum time for me in AZ is my sunrise, which today is 13:40Z. My previous
QSOs were at 13:25 and 13:30Z. At this time most of EU, NA and SA are in
daylight, minimizing QRN and QRM.
Your best opportunities are ~16:30Z; broad daylight for me and ~06:00Z, where
all of NA and SA are dark, maximizing my QRN and QRM.
2) I would imagine that George, or any other DXpedition, wants to make contacts
and not call CQ
endlessly without answers, because the potential callers don't need a QSO. I
would only call in that circumstance.
Regards, Wes N7WS

that do not have it a chance. After all it’s a local for the West coast. 73

I worked W1AW/KH8 twice (5 min apart---must have been insurance) almost exactly
9 years ago. Nothing before or after.

Hello TobBanders,
I am in American Samoa (KH8) and will be in the Manua Islands, AH54
(OC-77), later this week. I may have a chance to set up a 160 m
station and operate for a few days. How much wanted is KH8 on TB?
ClubLog indicates that it is quite rare at #30 on 160 m, but I find
that hard to believe for a place recently activated by a number of groups.
TKS,
George,
