For the second hour, I (CM87) was in the skip zone of the AZ fox (DM43), so the
only time that I copied him (weakly) was when he called CQ on single frequency;
nothing else hear, presumably due to power drop when using multi-freqs...
perhaps the program should reduce power when using on channel, or maybe call CQ
on all unused channels at once (simpler), so that signal levels are more
constant? Anyway, DXped foxes need to consider this effect.
For the first hour, I copied W1/KH7Z just fine, but could not get him to
reply... you seemed to be aware to problems, so I won't belabor this. At the
half hour point, when Joe took over, I got thru pretty quickly and smoothly;
perhaps his ques hadn't clogged up as yet.
73, GL and TU for your efforts,
Mike, K6ML CM87xg

Interesting....
I could not work them. Zero propagation in the east coast. Weak in the west.
However....
Signals from W7/KH7Z were:
- if only one signal (i.e. CQ), he was -21 to -18
- if 3-5 signals, all signals were between -12 to -08.
Contrary to logic. Maybe, the close proximity to the 3-5 signals have an
additive effect on 1) the signal in the air , and/or 2) the signal in the
software?
