He is sure giving it a good try, but having great difficulty hearing W.
Around 1500Z he sent "Running with AGC off and AF open enuf to hurt. Using
250 Hz filters and edsp/nb/notch. . . . with att0 background noise only S3
to S5....QRZ west coast?"
He alternated between "USA" and "JA" from before 1400Z to about 1500Z, took
time out for a chat with VQ9SS at 1433, tried to work a UA at 1513Z, worked
N7UA 1514Z then called CQ W/VE. By 1530 it was "CQ VE/W no EU" and he faded
into the broad daylight about 1547. Very frustrating. Lots of W calling
him 2 up, but nothing compared to the masses of JA around 1912. 73 de VE7BS
