Topband: E77DX December 13

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi,

E77DX was really very loud here for many hours.

I called him several times without luck. We was peaking sometimes really 599
but no way that he catch my call.

Here we are in a boooring ARRL10 so last night decided to QSY 160 and really
was amazing!...

CX3AL operating from my station did a great job with a nice pile up for his
first 160 mts activity.

Could work a few new ones and TF4M was 579 for a long time.

73,
Jorge

Asunto: Topband: E77DX December 13


Worked E77DX this evening from Kansas. Probably not a big deal to the
seasoned DXers on

this list - but it impressed me.

 

I was using a 100 foot piece of wire tossed up over the garage and strung
along side our home for

the 10M contest. 10M got slow and I listened some on the Top Band. Heard an
absolutely amazing

signal from E77DX on 1.819 after midnight. He was coming strong in over S-9
local noise. Adjusted

the tuner to load the wire on 160M and gave him a few calls with 100w. At
0619 UTC in the log. Heard him

work numerous 6s and 7s. 

 

Some cluster spots:

 

VE3FDT          1819.1 E77DX        CQ, unbelievable signal!           0623

Maybe I should get a real antenna going for 160M...
