Zero copy here in Iowa on 160 for the EP6 op. . . not even a hint A 160m Q
will be out of the question. Very, very weak signals on 80. . .probably not
strong enough to be workable. Signals on 40 are strong enough to be
copyable but still very weak. I think the highest S meter reading I've seen
on 40 is about S4 with 2el @ 130'. Many hours of calling on 40 with no Q.
My common window of sunlight for the higher freq bands is only 10 minutes.
I did manage to work them on 20 ssb yesterday and today on 15 ssb and 12 cw.
. .but the openings are weak and short. I've never seen a signal on any
band or mode more than S4.

That has kept me preplexed since the expedition began - not a single word
in the TB reflector. How come? Usually even a minor expedition with TB
claims is being widely discussed. I think everyone in NA, SA, OC hopes to
log them despite East EU wall and QRN/QRM issues fellows have been dealing
with. I've been hearing them on TB on my SS till abt 2.12 UT up and down,
max S4. Other bands they are resonably loud but focused mostly on EU. I
hope they will find time for SA.
Congratulations to Florida Plumbers Team (since they have the pipeline)!
Well done, boys!
