[SEDXC] 3Y0X

[Hal Kennedy]

Gordon,

Being a dipole guy here as well, I had similar experiences so far on the
high bands.  They are very weak here on 21 and 24, and I have not heard
a peep on 28.

I've worked them on 160 thru 17M without much trouble.  On CW the ops
are really first rate and are moving their receivers very predictably.
Discern the pattern and put yourself where they will be next - works FB.
The KW here helps of course.

GL, Hal

What is the last day 3Y0X is suppose to be on ?

I would like to work them on 17,30, and 40. This is assuming I can still
get cards for the 1987 operation. I spent most of yesterday trying. I
did manage a SSB QSO on 15. I wanted to get 1 contact anywhere since I
don't have it confirmed.

This is what I observed yesterday.

I could barely copy them on 15 ssb for about 1 - 2 hours mid afternoon.
I could hear them on 17 barely at times but running 100w it was
hopeless. I couldn't hear them on 20. I could hear them very well on 30
and 40 and called them what seemed like 1000's of times with no luck.. I
am curious ,
Were conditions on 10-20 worse yesterday. I only have dipoles but I
usually hear pretty well. Hopefully the pileups will lessen now that
people have worked them on many bands and they have more stations up. I
hope to make another effort next weekend. I hope they will be on thru
next weekend.

My one contact was about 2 hours pass the cutoff for the last qso's they
uploaded.
