[OKDXA] 6O6O

[Robert Redmon]

Kim, I have been listening since they started up. Only once did I see/hear? them strong enough to be reasonably copy (on 30 meters). Unfortunately, they were working Asia through strong EU QRM. I waited for them to shift to NA, but they had faded almost completely into the noise by then. They are having trouble receiving due to high (but variable) qrn at their qth. Consequently, they are only hearing the loudest signals…..and we just haven’t had the propagation. I wanted to add a few bands (40/80/160) but I sincerely doubt that is going to happen given their performance thus far. 

GL es 73, 

Bob

I’ve not been able to be on much when they are and I’ve not heard them in any band. Sigh
