I also found them to be more difficult to work than I would have expected. Like others have said, when they were loudest here on 160m and 40m, they were calling "CQ JA" ...very frustrating. I understood the emphasis on Europe.
Although I am definitely no expert on how things should work on the "low bands" I have to to along with what Zach had said about gray line strategies. I realize however, that they did have problems with their receive. Perhaps, too, expectations were high because we all know that the operators there are of a very high caliber, and I would agree, too, that they overextended themselves. I did manage to work them on 80m, 20m and 15m, so I can't really complain, and hope that there were several people who got a new one out of this expedition. Perhaps we got spoiled after the Kingman Reef operation. =) 73, Bridget, KS4YT Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
