Jim,
It is hard for me to come on TB at 0600 as on most days as we go to the
island late afternoon to avoid the heat while we work on things. (Yesterday
we rearranged our filters to reduce interference.) By the time we get back
it is dark and often past 0600. Will keep on trying to come on just after
our SS but also at least by 0800 for NA SR. Tonight I was on TB until our
SR, trying for E. EU but only worked to R7.
Set up a DHDL RX antenna yesterday but it was picking up generator noise.
Will move it today to reduce noise.
GL and 73,
George

>>We are super busy, Updating Clublog once a day is all we got time for.The 160 m antenna (actually 160 - 10) is at the water's edge -- a good location. Two of the higher bands antennas are up on a berm but these stations run 100 W only.
>>We have built yesterday a DHDL for RX but we need to move it away from the generators as it is picking up generator noise. I hope to improve our RX capability within a couple of days. Last night we worked CU two hour after our SS -- not the same as EU, but it suggests that there is a small chance. At our SR we were on 160 for EU SS but only got as far west as R7. Will keep on trying. Ihave been amazed by the huge difference between signal strengths on 160 and 80 m. The same stations that are barely detectable are 599+ on 80! It can not be just their antennas. For sure November would be better for TB, but...Keep Trying!73,George
