VU4RG VU4MY VU7SJ VU7NRO

Fred Worked VU7SJ about 2350z on 40m
I copied VU7's but not VU4's on 20 30 and 40 meters
when the east coast was spotting BIG. But not very loud.
VU4 was barely copy on 30m here. But VU7 was pretty good on 30m about
1300. VU7 copy on 40m about 2300z on.
Best bet would have been 20m about 1800z or so I think but didn't need, maybe a
chance on 30m as was pretty good copy.
Needed 40m so I was concentrating on 40m.

The east coast seemed to be spotting all day somewhere.
You'll notice below the 5NN+, BIG SIG, EASY.spots

Have you tried propagation programs?
I like W6EL propagation program.
A lot of the times it actually works pretty close to what you'll find..
I have others but prefer W6EL.

Contest conditions on 160m I think poor.
Worked HC8A for new one on 160m only so far in test.
Missed PZ5Z again.  TO5DX not contesting?? I've only seen on WARC
so far during the test. Need 160m please. (or 10m)


160m is hard!

I see spots on 20m but either east or west coast stations. Not a peep here. I know VU7 is probably one of the most difficult parts of the world from W0 land.
