Topband: E51D Approximate Low Band Schedule Sep02

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Hello Topbanders,


Yesterday I have built an RX antenna that points to the NE. It helped last 
night with the QRN and I had a decent run from 0900 to 1100, although most 
signals were weak.
This morning I was on 1832.5 from 1600 to 1630, during my SR. A good number 
of Central Asian callers came in with S6 and S7 signals. I worked one R3 
around 1630, when propagation stopped. QSY-d to 80 to work numerous stations 
all the way to OH. At 1655 propagation was cut off, virtually instantly. S6 
signals disappeared within 15 seconds.
More would have made it into the log if they were sending their calls more 
than once. It takes me time to find a signal (with the narrow filter 
settings) and when a call is sent only once, I only get last few letters.
Below is our approximate schedule tonight:
   80: 0410 - 0445
160: 0450 - 0530
   80: 0530 - as long as 80 is good then maybe 40
160: 0900 - 1100 (but may QSY to 80 if 160 is too slow)
160: 1600 - 1630
   80: 1630 - 1700

HPE to CU,
George
