Topband: 4W8X results on Top band

2023-12-04 Thread Rune Øye
All, It clearly shows that having a dedicated topband operator gives the result. I have enjoyed reading Dietmars update here on the reflector, and I am very much agreeing with him on what is a good QSO or not. 2045 CW Q`s and 1271 Q`s on FT8 is a good number. I personally don’t use FT8 private,

FYI, tomorrow (Sunday morning in the USA) will be the last efforts from 4W8X. Perhaps keep 1.826.5 open from 10:00Z open. That is where they have typically transmitted. GL in the contest and 73, Bob K3UL _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband

They seem to be hearing NA better today (11/14). And again, great of them to listen for NA. Seems lots of callers aren't hearing them well. Lots calling even after 4w8X asks for a specific call or partial. An example I recall. He's asking for XX and lots of callers with no X in their call

4W8X was on 1826.5 (listening down 3) this morning making a real effort to get some more NA QSOs in the log.  I got to the rig about 1130z and heard a lot of commotion on 1823.5+/- and saw that his QRG was 1826.5  The stations in the southeast and southern US had the best propagation.  John,

When AA6AA worked 4W8X on 11/11 at 1420Z, 4W8X peaked here a few mins before sunrise. AA6AA caught him exactly when the sun peeped over my horizon, flooding the desert floor, and 4W8X hit 579. A minute after the sun peeped over, 4W8X took a 3 or 4 S-unit dip and was back into and out of the

Braco, Thanks for the update :-) In the Northern EU the signals are different however, I have copied Dietmar from the start of his CQ but signals have been marginal. For the last two evenings his signal increased from about 45 minutes before his sunrise. From about 25 min before his SR and until

I was copying you Q4-Q5 and calling yesterday near my sunrise (~13:50Z)  Unfortunately, all of Japan seemed to be calling too.  I could see their pileup on my bandscope. But I had to do a family errand and had to QRT at that good time.  This morning (my time) I had no copy. Your excellent
