The band seems to be coming alive here in Boring, Oregon. Last night - I was able to copy ZS1REC for a good 10 minutes around his sunrise. However, Raoul had too much noise to copy me or N9RV.
This morning - I warmed up the shack calling CQ and was heard by 4Z1UF - around my sunrise. Ilya was able to do an antenna check with me and reported I was louder when beaming North as opposed to broadside E/W and he could not hear me at all when I beamed South (two element phased verticals). I wasn't able to hear him well enough to make a QSO however. These two "half" QSOs are very encouraging however. 73 Tree N6TR/7 Boring, OR _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
