Yesterday to my big surprise I could copy K5P on 160m for
about 30 minutes, seemed to peak around 1445Z. They where
as strong as 559 on the peaks with deep QSB. I never ever
was thinking it was possible to even hear them the way
160m is these days.
However they does not seem to RX very well. Me and OH6KN
and one or two others was calling but K5P mostly was calling
CQ.
Big problem also was that the K5P operator never did announce
the RX frequency, he seemed to listen both up and down.
I am sorry but this is a very bad way of operating.

Dear OMs,
Please do not think I am criticizing the team. So far at 17:27 GMT on
Jan16 there has only been one 160M QSO with zone 14 which includes EI, G, DL
etc. The propagation gods are not favouring us at all. K5P is a hard
reach on most bands and once you go away from 17 through 40 meters there are
literally only about five QSOs total on the other bands.
Some are losing their reason and making poor comments which reflect
badly on both them and their nations. We as a hobby need to do better in
recognizing the troubles of the DXpedition.
