Thanks for doing that Bruce. You helped me log a new one on 160. I worked them at 0348Z on Feb. 22, under extremely poor conditions. Most of the difficulty was on my end. With man-made noise to deal with and no receive antennas, hearing TI9/3Z9DX was touch and go. The op at their end did a

Mike. I emailed Dom asking for a 160 meter, time specific, North America standby.  On  02/22/2015 they were on working mixed instead of just Europe.  The opening to Northern New England was only about 15 minutes long.   Found their listening frequency, called them at 0331 UTC  and  made the

I ran across them in the ARRL DX contest and managed to work them too! I am glad some others got in there too! Mike W0MU On 2/23/2015 6:31 PM, K1FZ-Bruce wrote: Mike. I emailed Dom asking for a 160 meter, time specific, North America standby. On 02/22/2015 they were on working mixed

 Ti9/3Z9DX initially was very weak on 160 last night at my QTH in Maine (northern New England). Then the signal started building, peaking to S-8  1530 hours UTC. Unfortunately they were working Europe at the time. Waited a number of hours, but  no cigar. Any information available as to

Conditions to EU on 160M last night were just superb. Might be best to just let TI9 work EU given these conditions. This AM before I went to work (1100Z), I got them on 160M CW. They weren't loud but were peaking up above the noise quite often. I have listened for them when spotted on phone on

Email Dom 3Z9DX. I had a log problem and he answered me immediately. I am sure they are open to suggestions if asked nicely. Mike W0MU On 2/19/2015 9:35 AM, Tim Shoppa wrote: Conditions to EU on 160M last night were just superb. Might be best to just let TI9 work EU given these conditions.

TI9 had a super signal on 160 last nite, before my sunset he was 579 and peaked over 599 at sunset, of course EU only, and he was working them at a good clip. Good to see conditions were good. After sunset his signals started dropping, he went to US about 0500? I made it through the pile

Band was really nice last night. Worked TI9 from balck hole Asia location. Before this I was able to log few US stations. First time after 2013 opennings. Navassa K1N was audible almost daily on my SR peak. But KP1 has way better heading than polar TI9 and US. Condx got better. Regards,

At 0500z the op started working NA. Many of us worked him then. He was a good 579 from 0300z working EU until at least 0510z when I shut the rig down. They seem to up load the logs to Clublog often. Glad to get a new one on 160m! Ray, N6VR On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 9:59 AM, Nodir Tursun-Zade
