[ADXA] Latest 3Y0J Update 1345z Wednesday 2/8

[Steven Rutledge]

Thanks Joel.  I could copy them on 30 CW last night but there are 
numerous ops constantly jamming them when they come back.  I stayed up 
late enough until they went to QRT.  It never stopped. I believe the 
guys throwing the huge amp carriers are in the south based on their 
signals on 30 meters at night.  I am seeing lots of stations calling on 
15 FT8 now but not seeing evidence of QSOs.  I am not printing them and 
don't expect to.

I don't know if this is true or not but a friend in MD says ops up there 
are working them on 30 CW on wires and 100 watts.  I don't know if I 
believe that or not.

The behavior of US hams in this instance has been very disappointing.  I 
assume they got bored with 75 meters.

GL to all,

Steve, QQ
