Is this expdition supposed to be a micro-lite dxpedition? As most of you know, when you wash your car, it will rain! The other morning I complained about weak or non-existent signals from K7C--I needed them on WARC bands. Maybe my wire vertical on WARC didn't help. But that afternoon they

I thought I worked them on 40 CW after they came back to W9? but then I heard them call W0IZ. I sent my call and report again on the possibility they were hearing me and just heard a TU. So I don't know if I actually worked them or not. But neither my call nor W0IZ show up in the on-line

Propagation is just a small part of the game. It is a big part of the game up here in the North . This morning, 27 sept o6 UTC I checked the signals spotted on the clusters. The only audible signal was on 40 meters SP, with auroal flutter. The forecast is not particularly optimistic

Larry, I can understand your frustration. However, you seem to think you need some monster station to work these guys (or any DXped). This is not true. I have a very modest station. Cushcraft A3 at 38' for 10, 15 20. Butternut vertical w/4 radials for 40 80CW. That's it. Now, I will admit

I second that feeling. I was able to break the JA wall this morning on 40 before my sunrise. However, they also showed up on 80m with a very good signal into Colorado just before my SR. Many 0s, 6s 7s were calling and calling yet they continued to work mostly JAs. I listened for a while
