[RTTY] RE: [dxlab] FW: 160M RTTY DX US-DL test

Well, we were unable to make contact with each other.  Juergen says he was
heard on the East Coast and he heard some German stations.  160M was
terrible last night, though, and I heard no signals anywhere on the band in
any mode.  I have another test this evening with KN4LF in Florida, just to
see if we can manage one at that distance.  That one will be at or about
1810 kHz at 0100Z 24 April (Friday evening US Time).  This one will be RTTY
only.

 

You mentioned seeing PSK signals, did you see any RTTY or CW signals at all?

How did the test go?  Did anyone make a contact?
I could just barely make out a psk31 signal on the waterfall.  Not sure
whether it was DL8LE or AD0K as the timing seemed to bracket the time
slots listed above, although it seemed to start during DL8LE's periods.
I'm located in Virginia and usually have a good shot into Europe on 160.
However, the conditions were none to good last night.  I hope others had
better luck than I did.
