[CQ-Contest] W1AW/KH6

[Kimo C Chun]

Oliver,

>From about 12-20-2014 0001utc through the end of day 12-21-14, we shall be
operating from the KH7XX M/M contest station on all bands 10 - 160m (no
WARC) on SSB & CW. We'll likely not be able to do both modes on a band. We
won't be calling CQ on mostly dead bands but we will monitor conditions. We
don't have enough ops to man all bands simultaneously. I hope we and other
KH6 stations that should be operating will be able to fulfill your need. We
may do some RTTY as well but it's not planned as we did that exclusively
last round. Watch for spots - Please spot us.

73,
Kimo Chun KH7U

Hi guys,

is there any OP schedule available for W1AW/KH6?

Condx are not very favorable right now for antipodes QSOs. We had an
opening towards KH6 on 20 SSB yesterday for just an hour before the band
closed. As you can image pileups were immense and no chance for a low
power station to get thru even if they were 57 on peaks. :-( They were
very weak on 40 CW with lots of heavy QRM and I'm really not sure the
QSO was okay or just my imagination, I fear the latter.

So it would be helpful to know if there are any other chances to work
them from here or if my chase throughout the year for all W1AW portable
states was just a waste of time and now fails because of not catching HI
as the last one ... would really hate it. ;-)

So any info much appreciated - thanks in advance!

73, Olli - DH8BQA
