[SEDXC] YI9

[David Thompson]

For some reason I was left out of the log on 40 on 9 April at 0040Z.  Bill 
N2WB was again the op tonight and I worked him again at 0047 with a loud 
signal both ways.  He reported QRN from a rain and wind storm was making 
copy bad in Northern Iraq.  He also reported they were on 3785 Listening up 
5 for NA.  At 0000Z 40 signals were S8 and peaked at 9+ 10 to 15 at 0045Z. 
They were still S9 + 10 at 0245Z but now listening on 7175.

On 75 they were S7 on 9 April at 0130Z but with Stateside QRM on both sides 
(3782 down 5 to 7).
I heard K2EK clearly make a QSO but that was it.
Tonight they were S5 on peaks with about 50% readability from 0145Z to well 
past their sun up at 0240Z.  With the QRN Bill reported I could tell they 
had problems working NA.  I only heard N2RK and VE1VOX make a 2 way QSO.

The 80 Cw signal was also S5 and about 75% readable at 0230Z working a N3.

Hope SEDXC embers worked them somewhere.  Also another YI9 was reported on 
14265 and YI1RZ was reported on 14305 listening 5 up so there will be more 
chances when the spots pick up again.
