Nice Africa opening on 6 meters this morning. TT8SN was in here on both
CW and FT8. I was able to work him on CW, 50.088 at 1257z.
Also on was TZ4AM and 6W1TA. No copy here on those two before the prop
died out but they worked a bunch of east coast boys. Be alert tomorrow
morning as the possibility of return prop is HIGH.
AND......before you say it, no you do NOT need a "stacked array" to hear
and work these guys. If TT8SN is back in tomorrow you will most likely
have better luck trying him on CW than FT8. He and 6W1TA reported this
morning that the FT8 screen was totally full with "orange" from NA
stations calling. TT8SN is an excellent CW op (spends a lot of time on
160 during the winter running pileups) so he can work 'em down pretty
quick on CW. When I worked him on CW he was a few dB above my noise
floor but that was after his peak, when he was on FT8 his sig peaked at
-4.
