Re: [Elecraft] Flash mob experiment, right now, 28.050 +/- 5?
Clearly propagation was regional. I only heard two or three call signs, none complete enough for a contact. All were Midwest stations. My 100 watts and wire antenna netted no returns, but Reverse Beacon showed my CQs consistently strong toward the East Coast. What power and antenna were you running?

[Elecraft] Flash mob experiment, right now, 28.050 +/- 5?
Well that was fun! Only time for one QSO and it was with Dale WA8SRA (K3, 500 watts) whose signal got stronger as the QSO continued. I hope this is still going on later when I have more time to play.

Re: [Elecraft] Flash mob experiment, right now, 28.050 +/- 5?
I only had a few minutes, and worked 5 stations. N8NN was my first. His signal was actually only 559 but I gave him 599 before looking at the meter. My noise level was VERY low this morning so several signals really jumped out at me. Some were honest S-9 sigs... a real treat. As near as I could tell at a glance, I was picked up by 6 or 7 skimmers, from coast to coast, plus J68HZ & PJ2A. I was running my KPA500 at about 450 watts, but my antenna is just a 30' Flag Pole vertical, so it was a real treat to work anybody. 73 to all de Dave - K9FN On Mon, Jun 12, 2017 at 11:32 AM, Bert Garcia N8NN wrote: > Worked three, but band conditions are poor.

I hear a few very weak sigs in there. My main antenna is offline so I’m using a rotatable dipole at 25’. I’ll be on for awhile. And yes, this is an experiment in “opening the band” :) Anyone should be able to do it. Name your time/place.
