Hi Lanny and gang,

I was bored and just got off of 80m AM.  So I waited for the TY0RU on 30m to come up on signal strength.  At first saw them every other print cycle.  I saw many of the guys calling the 3C3CA, but no print of that operation today.  Yesterday around 0100 to 0200 I saw the 3C3, but only barely.  Took a long time to work the TY0RU, but when I started on 30m they were -20 and when they got up to -15 is when I got the call.   By then I was seeing all 4-5 streams.

After that Kathy went down to 15m to work the TY0RU.  They had problems like Rory was talking about yesterday.  Just calling you once and done.  Once I saw them fire up Multi stream on the main watering hole of 21.074 and then they were gone.  I looked up to help Kathy and notice he was not giving anyone a RR73.  Just a signal report, then the next call/signal report.

Weird how some are such great ops, while other struggle with their setups.

K5VR and I were chasing them on 80m just now, 0249 UTC.  At first Stan had a good copy, but nothing here at my QTH.  So I then went to the receiving loop and played with the diversity some.  Bingo that did the trick.  Wish I had tried that on the D60.  I love the Icom, but the SDR has so much better NR and NB system.

W5JAY worked TY0RU on 10.131 F/H.  Working JA and EU primarily.  I’ve been trying!

I see 3C3CA working the same frequency, but not decoding here.
