Worked into Ukraine with 40 watts on FT8.
Heard lots of EU and Russian callsigns very strong around 0430 UTC, well before
sunrise for several of them.
It has been awhile for me since hearing signals that strong.

Sorry about that Steve . .
I heard a few people calling that I couldn't quite pull out of the noise -
there was a lot of QSB on signals.

Hello,
To take leverage of the location and direction at which the cliff faces,
what kind of antenna would you set up in a place where the TRX would be on
the top of a cliff, 50 to 80m above sea level?

Vic, sounds like you have what you need for your open wire line support, so
this is an FYI:
In the UK WD1A is called D10 field telephone cable. It's getting harder to
find surplus, but is still made by Lacey:

A reversible Beverage or BOG can be constructed out of a single run
of RG-6, there's no need to form an open wire line out of two runs
of RG-6,

I worked a few stations on FT8 in Colorado and the PJ7. I did not hear
too much on CW when I listened.
Nice to see the band open at least for a bit to EU!

Roger,
Last night you had a very solid signal (579) on qsb peaks but you could not
copy my calling.
Here at Ve6wz conditions were excellent last night into EU. I worked 46 EU,
some with exceptionally strong signals. Solar wind below 350 km/s still seems
to be a good proxy for trans-polar openin
Roger,
You had a solid 569 signal into New Mexico last night, despite
frequent static crashes. Wonder what your power and antenna(s) were?

One more thing...if you are supporting ladder line with the recommended
twist, you could actually run the paracord through the holes in the
ladder line. I don't think it would have any impact on the performance
of the ladder line.

Vic, I know I am a little late with this response but one way I support
wire, coax, etc. Is with paracord. If you use the 550 or better cord and
stretch it tight between you 4x4's, it will support wire very well. I do
it that way a lot. I have a 134' inverted as well as a 124' EF and I

Thank you everyone for your contributions regarding my questions re Ladder Line.
We will try a test run of the RG6U as suggested by Jeremy. Mainly because we
already have a source on site of the cable he suggested.
The WD1A telephone wire does not appear available in the UK.
You all appear to agr
Yes good to work you on Saturday night Dave . . .
And heard you again last night too, working a few stations. Some of the
Eastern European guys calling you weren't that strong, so you did well to
pull them through!
