Anyone know the operating schedule for 7Q7MM on 160m? I came to the shack
tonight at 0200Z, when I had read they would be QRV Topband, only to
discover they had already gone QRT.
Any pattern to their 160m activity? Their SR is 0350z but I don't see any
spots around that time.

Their 160 m operation has been somewhat difficult to understand. They have
usually been too late for greyline
propagation to Northern Europe and appearantly also for NA. The operator
( s ? ) has been pretty good
using a big split so there has not been any keycliks or QRM from nearby
stations here in Europe.
In stark contrast with some of the German dxpeditions which identify
themselves far too seldom, this one is overdoing it by sending his call
twice for every QSO ! That steals time of course, but at least we avoid the
usual " call ?" all the time on his frequency.
I talked about this NO-ID problem with the very seasoned DX-peditionair and
lowband operator Dietmar DL3DXX during the recent
AGM of the LADXG. His comment was, he expected most dxers to check the
DX-clusters to see who was on a certain frequency.
He at least sends his call every 3.rd qso or so while others do it every
5-10 minutes, which is not good enough IMHO.
7Q7MM is supposed to close on saturday May 1.
