[GreenKeys] About a "Straight Key Night" for RTTY

[William Wuttke]

Russ,

My 80 and 40 meter propagation seems to be limited to the western states - my antenna siting is very poor, only about 6 feet away from my steel-framed house.

According to QRZ, you are 2451.5 mi. ENE from me. All of my cross-country QSO’s have been on 20 meters. Going back over my log, it looks pretty much hit-or-miss from 1500Z to 2300Z, with most east coast contacts around 1900-2000 and 2300.

What I’ll try to do, for this weekend at least, is to run some CQ’s every hour on the hour on 14.095 +/- from 2000 to 2400Z, both Saturday and Sunday (minus any XYL shopping trips). Let’s see if we can get the ionosphere working for us.

73,
