I have been repairing my beverages this fall and listened for AA7JV in
American Samoa in the morning on Nov 8th. I had a bad birdie on 1822.5
that sounded liked gurgling Scottish bagpipes. but did hear George
fairly well with some QSB. I was not getting through and quit right at
Sunrise as I was off to help with some tower work a few hours away.
This AM I overslept Sunrise. Five hours on the tower with cold temps and
a pretty good wind, chilled me through and through. I was exhausted. I
will try again on Nov 10th at my Sunrise. Signals on the 8th were not so
good here in New England. (or maybe my beverages are still broken?)

I heard you this morning between 1145 and 1200z ( in and out.) but a
big improvement over the past two nights when there was no copy. The K
was down to 2 and might be down to 1 by morning. Hope so since there
usually is a correlation between low K and good 160 DX.
So, if things work out and the trend continues, tomorrow will be the
best and you will have saved the best for last. :) I'll be in the Ohio
window from 1130-1215z looking to find out.
Will this be your last stop before heading home, or are more stops
still planned?
Bon voyage
