Luc and All, I was able to copy the CW signal "fair" at times (when my local pulse noise was down) today around 1840 utc with just a Cushcraft 432-20T (my 1970's antenna) using a SSB 7000 and a TS-2000x with both preamps on. I was talking to a local EME operator on 220mhz (WD4JHD) and would tell him when I heard the signal. He would confirm my reception each time. I will say it was not good enough to work a contact.
I was just amazed that I could hear them at all with my "flea" antenna. It's only 4 ft long and was running axial feed to both driven elements. I was elevated between 67 to 70 plus degrees at the time. I never could hear the other station, but did hear KP4AO give someone a 559 report. I hope they run digital mode Sunday to see if I can decode it. 73 all, Rick WA4NVM > > On a 24elem linear yagi+preamp signal here is very very weak could be one > or two dits from them.
