Jim,
It is hard for me to come on TB at 0600 as on most days as we go to the island late afternoon to avoid the heat while we work on things. (Yesterday we rearranged our filters to reduce interference.) By the time we get back it is dark and often past 0600. Will keep on trying to come on just after our SS but also at least by 0800 for NA SR. Tonight I was on TB until our SR, trying for E. EU but only worked to R7.

Set up a DHDL RX antenna yesterday but it was picking up generator noise. Will move it today to reduce noise.
GL and 73,
George

George,
Thanks for the update.  I will look for you on 160 and 80.   On those low bands, are 
you HP and CW?  Still 6:00 UTC for east coast?

Thanks for all you do for this hobby.  73

Jim, KE0L

We are super busy, Updating Clublog once a day is all we got time for.The 160 m 
antenna (actually 160 - 10) is at the water's edge -- a good location. Two of 
the higher bands antennas are up on a berm but these stations run 100 W only.
We have built yesterday a DHDL for RX but we need to move it away from the 
generators as it is picking up generator noise. I hope to improve our RX 
capability within a couple of days. Last night we worked CU two hour after our 
SS -- not the same as EU, but it suggests that there is a small chance. At our 
SR we were on 160 for EU SS but only got as far west as R7. Will keep on 
trying. Ihave been amazed by the huge difference between signal strengths on 
160 and 80 m. The same stations that are barely detectable are 599+ on 80! It 
can not be just their antennas. For sure November would be better for TB, 
but...Keep Trying!73,George

I'm sure that George is doing the best that he can, with what he's got.
With so many players in the game (including the non-ham scientists that
accompanied them), it must be tough trying to keep track and control of
everything going on!

Being on the west coast and thus closer than many to Jarvis, I've been
astonished at how well they have radiated on both 160m and 80m; at
least, to SoCal. Seems to me that the weakest signals have been on all
of the higher bands, but that's likely because propagation to Jarvis
from the desert of SoCal just hasn't "bounced" quite right for those
bands very often.

That will show who was at the controls for your QSO.
