Dennis, my 80m times or theirs was off.  Not sure why their clock was off, but got a match after adjusting the time.  I don't think my clock was off, since you didn't get a match either.

I will let you know if and when these are confirmed via LOTW.

I did get the T32TTT on 80m as well this time, so I have some backup.  Thought I might get the one from last year sooner and that is why I did OQRS today.

Thanks, Jay.   I did give them a small love offering last year.  The problem is that all of my Q’s showed up on the log search but 80M would not match and come up on the QSL request.    I got T32 Lotw credit from the 2023 operation on a couple of bands but not on 80.   I might get a QSL card someday.   Maybe this one will work out.

Dennis

HI Dennis,
I noticed the T32TT that was on last year is OQRS on Clublog.  I didn't give them a love offering, but like you I need them on 80m.

I may see if I can belly up.  That is really the only band I need them on except for 6m.

They should be able to upload remotely after the OQRS is done.  I will keep you in the loop.

People were calling T32TTT on 80 two nights ago but I never copied him.  Last night, I got up about 1000Z and he was there but weak.  I copied him -18 and he gave me a -10.  He always gives out good signal reports, or maybe his noise level is just low in the Pacific.  His signals have not been very loud, though.

I spent the next few minutes working them on 30 and 40M but 80 was the one I really needed.  I worked them as T32TT last year on 80, had a definite good contact, showed up in the online log, but never got Lotw confirmation in spite of several emails to them.  Maybe the Rebels will come through with 80 this time.  I have them everywhere but 160 now, with CW on 12 and 10.

I also worked ES and KP2 for new ones on 30M in the wee hours.

I've got plans for a Pennant receive antenna mapped out and it will be going up in the next week or so.  I'm going to start with just one to see how it works.  My main noise sources are from 0 to 50 degrees, so figuring out how to aim it is tricky.  I think I can suppress a lot of the noise without messing up EU too badly, and it should be great for Africa. I need to walk around with my FT-817 and see how well I can localize the noise sources.   I hope it will help with my powerline and neighbor noise on 160 and 80.  It's not big, but it's a start.

73,
Dennis/RZ
