Hi

I also didn’t manage to open the season in the USA today.

RBN readings are almost non-existent.

N4XD heard and called me (I saw his comment in the dx cluster).

But you RON noticed that your CQ was not seen by any RBN in Europe. Even England...

These are the nuances of the conditions. Conditions are better in one direction and worse in the other. This happens often.

So don't scold me too much :-)))))))

The final result for the night is poor, interrupted sleep:-((((((((

At sunset I listened to KH8/AA7JV.

Beveridge 240 m.


I didn't hear. The best contenders were HA9RE and UT5UGR. They called constantly. Dima has a very good indoor rx antenna. I don't know what rx the HA9RE has. But the guys are great anyway.

OK1CF/Karel heard about 0040 UTC calling CQ, very deep QSB going from
Q5 copy down to nothing and back again.  K4TL worked him from Florida
but I was not heard.

I called CQ numerous times but no replies.  Even with 500 watts I was
not making it onto any of the RBN spotters from EU.

Went up to 80 with 500 watts and was spotted by G4IRN.

This is depressing.  I don't have high hopes for the 160 meter contest
in December.  What a difference from 2009-2010 when 100 watts easily
got me into EU and middle east.
