Topband: J28MD, conditions

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi

Seems people still have a complex with some modes

If you don´t like SSB, CW or FT8, just don´t do it and let the people do
what they want

Or just spend the money to do a DXPedition and do what you want, works 100%
CW?, great!!

I can tell that in the case of J28MD I worked them in many slots, included
80 and 160 mts CW and FT8, great operators
