I am listening this AM to both sides of the A35T Top Band operation. The
signal from the DXped continues to be up and down, never strong and fading
completely at times on very short cycles.
The result, with A35T now hearing quite well, is MANY, MANY NA stations ARE
BEING HEARD and responded to by A35T, with the NA station never hearing the
A35T response.
During the last hour this scenario has occurred with perhaps a dozen
stations. It is a shame. After A35T responds 3 times, or more, with the
call sign and sig report, with no response from the calling station, A35T
has no choice but to return to CQing.
On the other hand, a LOT of stations ARE going into the log this morning as
the terminator works its way across the continent. Congratulations to the
Top Band operator at A35T, who is doing it correctly under the existing
conditions.
73, es CU all in the CQ 160 SSB contest this weekend.
