[Elecraft] TX3X K3/KPA500 DXpedition to Chesterfield Islands onthe air

[KQ8M]

Well, unfortunately here in the east, the solar flares have really made it difficult to hear them. I do not believe it is operator fault. Just unlucky that the sun decide to burp at the beginning and keep the A and K indexes up high.

Now this may be a problem. I worked them on 12 CW and the QSO never showed. I did not work them on 10 SSB yet it shows a QSO there. So I have worked them finally both bands and now 12 CW shows but not 10 CW although they were worked 40 minutes apart. Oh well, maybe next time.

73,

The issue is likely because my dipole is oriented towards EU.. I need to lookup the bearing from SC and probably move the ends of my dipole (not easily done).

They are on. The Elecraft rigs sound great (of course, I’m a bit biased)… I worked them on 21285 SSB a short time ago. They are presently very readable here in Northern California.
Propagation conditions are much better today than yesterday with much lower QRN caused by solar conditions (geomagnetic storming).

Keep trying. They are weak but workable. The K6TU propagation charts accessible from the TX3X web site are definitely a help. Stu has done a great job with his propagation site, worth checking out.

73!
