Hi Jeff
I made a handful of contacts with JA on 80. The activity by JA on 80 was very
poor every though propagation was good. I only had 2 answer my CQs. These were
on 3599.5. I also worked a couple between 3570 and 3575 and another few around
3530. I also was called by a couple of UA0s and YB1AR, so propagation was
definitely not the problem. Just lack of activity.

Subject: [RTTY] JA RTTY on 80 during the CQWW
Effective this year JA RTTY ops may operate between 3520 and 3575 KHz. It
used to be 3520-3530KHz. (They can also operate a range above 3599 but
squeezing into that 1KHz sliver for US ops seems like a bad approach...?)
This year I tried running at 3574 with just a handful of contacts, though
at least I got JA in the log on 80 for the mults. The idea being I would
still be close enough to the 3580 range to get other S&P.
Later, I am wondering if that was a bad choice since JA antennas might
still be tuned for the lower end.
I'm just wondering if anyone tried a different approach with any degree of
success.
