[ADXA] 3Y0K on 80M FT8 3.567 @ 0531

[Jay Bromley]

Thanks EJ,
That is great advice!

Grayline with this expedition seems to be very important!  I have them on 80m through 20m right now.  So, my times for working them are 0521 UTC 80m through 0644 UTC for 30m.  40m and 20m are in between those.  I can even hear them after their Grayline has past, but you are living on borrowed time!

I have very compromised antenna system here, so do NOT give up trying to get them in the log!  Sadly, I can't do 160m and that one is going to be very tough one to get for anyone on that band!

Yes, I was sitting in the chair, while watching the map for hours, waiting on the Grayline to come!  It is always great to see other ADXA members in the chase and last night was a ton of fun seeing Pat right behind me!  That doesn't happen too often.

Now to focus on other the higher bands if possible.

Congratulations, Pat and Jay
According to ChatGPT, that time is sunrise  on Bouvet.  The team Has said they will try to be on 160 particularly at that time. I got them on 160 last night at 05 22.   They were audible for about 25 minutes. Good conditions.  Set your alarm to get up  at 12 Local time and listen. Remember the old DX adage “You snooze you lose”
