Leftcoast K7QQ Quacks
You think you have it bad I was up at 28170 CQing, I've got the 9's to
get by along with the heavys running 100 W from the Wrong Coast. I
didn't work much from EU with the CQ method however did pick a couple of
nice mults that are LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL from Wrong Coast. GJ,
P3,ZB2, and really tuff stuff like GM, and GI
The big sigs were from CU2, S9 There were vy few above S-2 that
Includes EA, and some of the G0, that were in the middle of the band
running. None of the Italian stations were over S-1 and no S5 or LZ
heard. The P3 and a H29 were the only Z-20 worked. Suspect same station
were barely above ESP.
NOW THE W9's think they have it TOUGH.
K7QQ 810 Q , 29 Z 109 C
Heard Z 23 & 34 no luck
people out there who stop tuning when they hit the RTTY activity.
