Hi Lou,

jeez those numbers are worrying.
Although, path from K1 or and 6Y5 is far more
easier to EU/US then EP to US....

Got EP from 70' and Navassa as well :)

Sometimes it pays off, to be that long arround :)
Incidentally, this is one of the best location in Carrebian :)
I think that 6Y5 team set several WW on MM on Cw and QRPP
as well....

Was there in eighties as YU3CR/MM for 9 month...

We will agree upon vine :)

Nermin,

Lets wait for the final result from K1N.

We do have EP6T data:

68,045 QSO
69.6% Europe
9.8% North America
17.6% Asia.

I am willing to bet you a bottle of riesling, (Yellow Tail, my favored
fermented grape)
that K1N will do better with European stations than EP6T did with North
American
stations.

Are you on?

Lou,

is that what you have said, an argument ?
Let us wait a week, and then we will judge...

Sorry if I´m a PITA right now but why even bother to
have this debate about K1N on 160, it´s not even DX
to NA, like a local station almost.

Jeez how difficult can it be from the US, anybody with
100W and a wet noodle for an antenna can work it. On
80 I´m sure at least from the east coast they can be
worked all day long.

I don´t know about 160 since so far they haven´t been
stronger then S2 due to geo mag storm and poor propagation
66 degs north where I´m at but so far I´m very disappointed
in their 80m operation, they never listen for EU or any other
area, they work 99,5% NA, it is the USA/Canadian QSO party.
I would have expected a totally different action by that
bunch of operators, I´m very very sad and sorry to see
where it all has went to.

Now this might not be the case on 160, if I´m lucky propagation
might get better and I might get a shot at it.

I got up last night for my nightly bathroom ritual and just for grins
listened to 160. They were calling CQ and I worked them on 2 calls. Not
many trying to get them. This was 1035Z.

Why not call around 0700Z after the
band closes to EU and before it opens
to JA?  A bunch of us in CA got them
in the log last night fairly easily.
