[DX] TX3A - a really tough catch on the East Coast

[Michael G. Carper]

I'm not sure if anyone else on the East Coast is facing this, but.

 

I've got a lot of respect for 2 guys on an island in the South Pacific.
That said, it's tough because:

.         It's only 2 guys and they've gotta sleep sometime

.         Given they're on the other side of the planet, they're awake when
we're sleeping, or.

.         We're awake when they're sleeping.

.         It looks like they have the ability to operate on one band at a
time.  So the entire pileup is all at the same place (complete with LIDS and
an Italian station calling CQ).

.         When they are on, they've concentrated on 160 and 80. given the
grey-line. that's again, while we're sleeping.

.         Sometimes they're on 30m. which is great. levels the playing field
a bit. but I'm suspicious when I hear folks tuning on 30m. what are they
tuning?

 

But it's a tough one here on the East Coast.

 

As I'm told - "if you live long enough, you'll work 'em all".
