[OKDXA] DU on 160m

[K5TT]

Info for those of you still needing DU on 160m.  I think Coy is one of the few I know who has worked Jon.

I got the following response from Jon, DU9/N0NM

Hi Jim:

Isn't 160 a funny band?  Dozens of guys loosing sleep over some illusive 15 
second QSO.  I have been at this for 5 years now and only have 1000 in the 
log, half dupes.  Its a TOUGH path to NA from here especially because of my 
high RX noise.  I need to be about 579 minimum at your QTH to hear you 
though the noise here. That is from hard won experience.

I would be delighted to work you.  I am on every evening my time from about 
0945z through at least SR at AA1K, Jon's QTH.  I have been trying for a QSO 
with him for 4 seasons now regularly. His SR is about 1200z.  I am almost 
always on 1828.3 QSX up 2.  45 min before your SR is the sweet spot and 
March will be the sweetest sweet spot.

I have 2 more trips till we QSY to W3 in June.  I will be gone from 23 Feb 
to 2 March and then from 9-17 March. So sleep in during those times but 
other times I am on every night/morning.

I also use the 160 chat and log on to that so we can communicate when you 
are on hearing me.

Look forward to working you...73...jon
