Gentlemen,
As a newbie to top band I have some questions about ops from Fiji. I
make an annual trip to do a bit of surfing on some of the spectacular
reefs surrounding a 2 acre island. In years past I have passed time
operating on the HF bands 80 thru 10 meters. I have worked out a
system to erect large verticals on these islands and am interested in
trying to do operations on 160 meters.
The questions:
1. Is March / April too late in the season for reasonable propagation
into Europe/Asia/U.S. ?
2. What should I expect for best propagation windows ?
3. I notice the boys at Team Vertical believed 3D2 to be rare on 160,
is this the case ?
THe cost for me to try 160 vs the other bands is small, but I would
prefer to focus on bands where I will have the best shot at getting
more operators a QSO from 3D2. My QTH will be in the Manumuca group
(OC 121) on a dot in the Pacific.
Regards,
Brian n6iz/3d2iz
