It was 1425Z here in SW Wisconsin and I was copying JA1RZD on 14072.5 + 1500 Hz with near 100%, but he could not hear me. Very low noise and no S-meter reading on my end. After calling him a few times, he did ask QRZ and later KC7?? but I can imagine that noise levels might be much stronger on his end. Also, his web site indicates he can run 350 watts on MFSK and I am only running 25. OK, kicked it up to 200, HI, but no luck either.
Hearing WF7T, but not zero beat with him and did not link up. Maybe that was the 7 station that JA1RZD heard? 73, Rick, KV9U Tony wrote: > > > All, > > Received the following email from Ken, JA1RZD. > > Tony -K2MO > > Hi Tony, > > Thank you for the QSO on March 27 MFSK mode.
