Hi again, He is weakening here but he's getting fantastic reports from the west coast. We are in full darkness here in CNY now. This is fun. Still simplex on 14210.

Hi, Good for you! I felt bad because he faded out here about half an hour later. Now he is on 14210 simplex. Good S7 here on my wire antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] Anyone having luck getting the DXpedition S9DX
I worked them at 1818Z today on 20. It's the first time I've heard them. The Daily DX reported several days ago that they are having trouble with their power source from the local hospital with frequent drop outs and have not been able to run the amps all the time. Keep trying. They seem to be good operators and will work to complete a contact.

Re: [Elecraft] Anyone having luck getting the DXpedition S9DX
For whatever reason, they haven't been very loud here in Missouri. Charles, S9SS, is usually quite loud, and when Martti was there as S9BB he had big signals here. Maybe their vertical antenna setup isn't optimal for their location. However, if you can hear them it's not hard to work them now that the pileups are thinned out, even with low power and a modest antenna. ymmv, Tony KT0NY __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Anyone having luck getting the DXpedition S9DX
I was able to work-em, when propagation peaked my way. I've found that I can press the K2's "B" button down just enough to shift to the xmit freq temporarily. And that way I can pop back and forth between "A" and "B" so I can follow along with the stations getting in. Pile-ups are stange animals. Patience seems to be one of the major factors for me as I'm not a big gun. :) Duane N1BBR -- bw...@fastmail.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
