[SEDXC] Fw: Band opening to 3B7C on 75 SSB

Sun Sep 16 22:53:09 EDT 2007

David,

I worked him at 23:24 on 09/15 on 3.795.0

He was barely readable at the time.
There was some other folks talking on his frequency at the time, I guess waiting for him to be stronger for them.
Just some quick chat, but there was space enough where I thought I heard him.
I printed out the graph for east coast from the 3b7c.com web site.
I found that to be very accurate from past Q's.

I kept calling anyway...  on split 3.799.0
I heard someone say KAL 5n9.  Gosh, I said I wonder if that was him.
Maybe it's someone playing around.
Has to be since I am calling on the split where the last contact that was spotted on the cluster said they worked him.
I went back and said same 5n9, and repeated my call a few times for the hell of it.
A few mins later, he was gone.
I logged it, but really didn't think it was a good contact.

Your email reminded me to check the online log, and to my surprise, I was in the log.
Very happy to work them on 3 bands so far.
What excites me is this contact on 40 and 80 will give me 5-Band DXCC for phone.

Just goes to show you...

Keith, K4KAL

The band has two distinct openings from Atlanta to 3B7C on SSB.   At 2318 he
was ESP working W9 and NE Coast on 3799.  At 2319 he was now readable at
4/4.  At 2320 they peaked at 5/6.  They stayed at that level until 2338 and
just as rapidly as they came up they disappeared to ESP.

I noticed that last night they stayed ESP until 0138Z and all of a sudden
they came in in the middle of a QSO at 4/4.   At 0141 they were running 5/5
and by just before 0200Z they peaked at 5/7.  At 0214Z they faded to 4/4 and
by 0217 they were ESP again.  This is sunrise at 3B7

Now compare this to the 80CW signal from 3B7C.

2315Z  449
2330Z   569
2345Z   559
0100Z  449
0130Z   449
0150Z   579
0200Z   599
0215     579
0230Z   559
0245Z   439

Not as striking as the past few days but still the CW stays  in longer and
never does fade.

Now to try 160.
