Topband: Caribbean Operations On 160m?

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Wes,
Schedules are very hard to follow. We need to work the bands that are good 
and work them as long as they are open. Propagation has been so erratic the 
last few days that all that is unpredictable. Hopefully by tomorrow things 
will settle down.

GL,
George

But I keep rolling out of bed at 2AM to check 160 only to find that I missed you on 80 at 1AM.  Could you give us a schedule of some kind for these bands? (I need to manually retune my one antenna and I'm not about to go out to the cactus patch in the dark and disturb the rattlesnakes at their mealtime)

>Steve,40 m has been a problem at N5J. Often we have S9+20 dB over-the-horizon radar signal blanketing from 6.95 to 7.050 for hours at a time. We are considering operating at 7050, but that is very close to the FT8 frequencies. We hope to find a break in the QRM to work NA.GL and 73,GeorgeN5J Team
