[OKDXA] Where's the DX?

Sun Nov 5 09:09:22 EST 2023

Yes I don't think the software allows for dupes.
So let's hope!

I worked A25C on 40m cw but I have not had any luck on 80m and I only
needed them on 160m so at this time that seems kind of hopeless.
If they won't hear me on 80m usually means there is no chance for 160m.
They were good copy here on 80m which usually allows for a QSO.

I suspect they have high QRN there.
They wouldn't even do 40m cw for a long time just FT8

TX7L was calling CQ all alone early. I heard them at +04
CQ a lot

gud luk es
