[Wes Stewart]

 Understood. At least I got you on 40CW and 60m last night.

Wes,

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

GL,

George

George,
 

 

You've prettymuch staked out 7056+ for SFH.  If you're on CW you won't be using that for FT8, why not use it for CW?



On another note, I would like to get you on 80 and160 FT8 to fill out my Bingo card. I'm sure I'm not alone.  But I keep rolling out of bed at 2AM to check 160 onlyto find that I missed you on 80 at 1AM.  Could you give us a schedule of some kind for these bands? (I need tomanually retune my one antenna and I'm not about to go out to the cactus patch in the dark and disturb the rattlesnakesat their mealtime)



Thanks, keep up the goodwork.



Wes  N7WS

Steve,40 m has been a problem at N5J. Often we have S9+20 dBover-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
