I've managed to work them on 20m and 15m SSB, and just tonight on 30m
CW.
When I was listening to 40m CW last night, I just couldn't believe
all the people calling on the DX frequency. UP UP UP. What idiots!
Well, tonight, I have a confession -- I was one of those idiots for
about 3 minutes on 30m. I had a nice split frequency in the other
VFO, but the radio isn't in split mode. I kept calling, and people
would send UP UP UP. Gee, I wonder what idiot is calling on the DX
frequency. Then again UP UP UP. Finally, someone sent AA4LR UP UP. I
got it that time.
Dang, I feel stupid.
Frustrating right now. 40m SSB is super strong, but they are only
listening below 7100. Maybe later.
