Bob,
I will be in the ARRL 160 contest as AA7JV/MM. Should have a stronger signal
by then, as we will be further east along our crossing to Panama.
CU and73,
George

Too bad about not getting your FO license. Governments can be
frustrating at times. Bet you could write a book about it! 160 seems to be
getting seasonally better but didnt hear any Euros
this past weekend event tho there were spots. Worked mostly C.A. and
the Carrib + KH6.
Any plans to operate for the upcoming ARRL 160m contest? and the ARRL
10m contest?
Bob

Bob, I was just quicky checking 80 m but, as you said, I had QRN. I
have
hunted down most of the QRN sources on 160 but have not done that for
80. Also, the QTH was unique: In Anaho Bay on Nuku Hiva Island, there
were steep cliffs on three sides, only open from NW to NNE. For W3
probably just OK. I got great reports from W7 on 160, pretty poor from
FL. TKS for calling anyway. Too bad I did not get my FO license, it have
been good to hand out
FO/M on 160. 73, George On Mon, 25 Nov 2024 01:07:56 +0000 "W3HKK" wrote:
George, tnx for the effort!! I heard you pretty well Sat night on 160
and even better on 80 cw CQing in the contest without a lot of replies.
Must have called you
50 times on 80m. You came back with some "QRZ's?" and a couple of "W3?"
but never pulled me through. Around 0600z. Didnt hear many replies. QRN issues? My INV-L
was giving me a higher than normal swr so might have had some ice build up. In any case tnx for
trying, Mr. DX! Happy
Holidays Bob -----------------------------------------
