Yep. > I was lucky to get the last VU7 and BS7 operations when there was a little > sunspot activity (not much). I couldn't get the BS7. I heard them for a grand total of 1/2 hour on SSB and I'm only 100W & a 20m Moxon (which I actually built to work them ;-) ). I called anyway but no joy. VU7 was another story. I snagged VU7RG on day 1 on 40m CW right before sunset. Turns out propagation between here and VU7 is really fantastic. They were very loud. I got a 17m QSO a few days later. But VU4 is a much more polar path from here and I couldn't hear them at all even though I heard the more recent VU7 a little. Totally different world. > But I only worked a couple JA's in CQWW CW. And they were tough to work. Yeah. I heard a DU on 40CW longpath the other day but couldn't make it through. Not much hope for, say, that V8 or XX9 that I still need or whatever. > > > The upcoming KP5 operation should be an easy one hopefully, for those of us > in the USA. Should be a good one for a lot of folks. I have a N3KS/KP5 card sitting here from a really lucky break when I was living in an apartment ;-) There's a good chance that KP5 will be my #99 or #100 on topband though.... but that's going to be CRAZY.
