[SEDXC] PT0S on 10 and 15

[AE4CW]

Dave,

Interesting observation about PT0S on 10M.  I, likewise, was never able to
copy him on 10 using my Hexbeam.  I did work him on 15, 17, 20, 30, 40 and
160. The lower bands were using a T-top vertical + K9AY.  The pileups last
week were massive...often 10KHz or greater on CW!  At times I could see 100+
signals on Skimmer and LP-Pan/NaP3.  He was rarely very strong.  It often
took me 1+ hour to break through with 500 watts.

Yesterday I decided to listen to PT0S as I had a visitor.  PT0S was posted
about 1930Z on 28.495.  I heard ststions calling him above 28.500 but he was
not readable here.

He switched to 15 (21.295) about 1 hour later and he was readable at times
but certainly not workable.

The only place I heard him at a fair level (S6) was on 75 the other night. 
I heard W4CCS work him.  I had to switch to my SW vertical dipole to copy
him near 100% as QRM on the half square was terrible from 2 khz below.

I have not spent much time listening for PT0S as the fellow handing old
cards sent me my three missing bands so I have the entity  on all the bands
I operate.

Is he always this weak?   I can see why some of the gang with wires and 
verticals
have had problems.  I recall most operations before were quite readable to
even loud.
