Topband: E51D Approximate Low Band Schedule Sep02

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

I made a couple vy incomplete less than studio quality handheld cellphone recordings of E51D on TB this morning a while after we ourselves worked.  

I think the K3TN QSO was the only complete end-to-end QSO I was able to get(by accident). (I was just hoping to get a peak around my SR, which never came)

 

I think E51D was in for about an hour…pretty much the same strength as this the entire time. If not for the VFO readout, you’d almost think it was 20m, the band was so quiet.  Just a lazy Inverted L in the woods here in FN66na

 

Thanks again.  The RIB is very cool !

Mike,

More or less the same every SS and SR. Keep an eye on the clusters.

But last night I called CQ on 1810.5 from 0815 to 0930 with only one caller, despite multiple RBN reports. I QSY to 80 when no takers on 160.

GL and 73,

George

Today was my birthday and I overslept for the 160m @ 0900z thing.  Rats !~

 

 

  

Will you be on again at 0900Z on Sept 3rd/4th too George?

 

 

 

VE9AA (GL/SR ~ 0930z-0945z)
