Was nice to work you Tim. I specifically remember our QSO, but I didnt know you had just begun to call.

They today have made beverages. I hope RX will be better. Today at 10-11UTC lsn 5 or 7/8 HC2RMT/8 QSOs with JA's, but I have not heard of Gallapagos/ News - All HC2/8 logs uploaded to Clublog. For me the big question why Yuri (RM0F-HC2RMT/8) no uses split. I wrote him a message about this.

My educated guess is that these contest expeditions will NOT be spending much (if any) time on 160M because the QSO rate would be MUCH slower than on the higher bands. The most they might do is try to grab a few multipliers, and they would be looking for low hanging fruit. The times to find them on 160M is before and after the contest, which runs from 00Z Saturday to 00Z Monday.

Re: Topband: Haiti on 160M this weekend?, HC2RMT/8, 9K2HN
I think HC2RMT/8 and HC2ANT/8 are having serious QRN problems. They each had solid 579 signals in NM last night, but were only working one station every five minutes or so. They seem to be skilled CW ops, but were working simplex, which sometimes made copy through the pileup difficult.

Topband: Haiti on 160M this weekend?, HC2RMT/8, 9K2HN
I note a lot of Haiti activations for CQ WW. Are any known to be active on 160M? Also looking forward to V26K on 160M as it would be a new one for me on 160M. Last night HC2RMT/8 had a wonderfully loud signal on 80M and 160M but may not have been hearing too well. (Or maybe that was just them practicing in simplex.) I was hearing 9K2HN jway above ESP on 160M last night and amazingly loud (I mean, pretty much as loud as any local!) on 80M.
