I managed to work them on 10 meter CW @ 5 watts at a much faster
rate (30 wpm) than my best rate (about 10 WPM) thanks to the CW
decode and CW memories built into the K3. I entered my call and
the exchange into the K3 at my sending rate and then turned the
speed up to keep up with their QSO rat
.
That was a very well run DXpedition! One of the best in my memory.

Yep, I worked them on 160 SSB on the 8th, which was apparently about the
last day for that band. I worked them on 160 CW a few days earlier. Not
sure why the antenna for 160 and 80 came down so early--maybe it blew
down??? It seems like after
x27;s history.

They were so strong last night, I tuned up my 80 meter inverted V with the

This morning, I am hearing them 599 on the 80 meter V, so gave them a call
and they came back first call!! KAT500 easily tuned the 80 meter inverted V!

I believe they are using K3's. If that is so the audio quality is not
what would be expected and is a poor advertisement. "thin", "weedy",
"all highs", "gravelly" and so on. An S3 SSB signal with some QRN on
15M last night was essentially incomprehensible.
