Topband: VP6D

Went looking for them after finishing the 0300Z CWT on 160m. He was down the band some from where the CWT mob had been. I had seen somewhere that they were working up 2. Called him once up about 2 and worked him about 0410Z. Listened for a while. He was working a mix of EU and USA. Clearly a fine

I am not an expert on DX peditions, coming late to HF and 160 meters in my life, but I could not get over the operator at VP6D this morning on 1.826.  Whoever it was, he was flying and getting the call correct the first time every time.  I was amazed at how well they were doing racking up the Q

Pity they didn't stay on until our SR in AZ.  But that's not atypical. Wes  N7WS On 10/22/2018 10:55 AM, David Olean wrote: I am not an expert on DX peditions, coming late to HF and 160 meters in my life, but I could not get over the operator at VP6D this morning on 1.826.  Whoever it was, he

The not staying on until west coast sunrise has been happening a lot with the Pacific DXpeditions on 160 the past few weeks. They have been changing bands 30-45 minutes before sunrise in Arizona and also eliminating California and the rest of the west coast :-( Dave N7RK -- Dave Hollander N7RK

Hover the cursor over the checkmark in the matrix of bands/modes in the log page, and often the operator will be identified On Tue, 2018-10-23 at 07:26 +0200, Jean-Paul Albert via Topband wrote: > ZL3CW, aka F2CW was, maybe,the operator. > congrat’s for ur QSO. > F6FYA > > Envoyé de mon iPad

He was easy to work on 160m.  Excellent OP. But I've worked him now twice on 80m but the Q has not showed up either time.  Not sure if there is an 80m log problem, an eager SLIM or just a couple of busted calls despite clear copy of my call both times on the reply.  If it's a slim, they were d

The VP6D ops were really terrific last night. Listened to them for two hours. They cleaned the table to EU. Worked them from P40W with 100w and 55 foot tall vertical dipole. A definite thrill! RX was better on NE beverage here too as someone else mentioned ... perhaps because that is the
