Lots of folks worked the FO0FR today on the band. Rob, W6KR, was on 20
meters SSB around 08:00Z. At 08:33Z he said he had to shut down for a
while because his dad Bob, W6RJ, was going to get on 160 meters.
Apparently there is some station interference from 160 to the other
rig. Around 08:35Z I could tell someone was on 1824. I heard a few
stations west of me work him. Then he disapeared until 08:52, when K6UR
spotted him back again. Around 09:28Z I could tell he was there and
evertime he was xmitting. By 10:00Z I was copying well enough to call.
I worked him at 10:07Z. Our sunrise was at 10:17Z and his signal seemed
to peak from 10:20 to 10:25Z. Then he dived down into the noise. He
did come back out around 10:35Z. Don't give up guys...keep listening.
