[SADXA] ZL8X 75-M SSB

[Wes Stewart]

Of course I  misspoke, it was their sunset.  

I don't know about the "standings", I have been simply trying for new band/modes for me.  If I had one confirmed already, I hadn't been worrying about working them on that slot.

So I haven't been chasing them on 40 or 80 CW, although I did work them on 40.  Guess I'll have to do that before they leave.  By that time, maybe I'll just call CQ and have them call me :-)

Your antenna situation must be the opposite of mine, I have a decent 20-meter antenna and nothing on the other bands except a pair of low inverted-vees fed in parallel, one on 80-75 and the other on 40.

That probably means you jump ahead of me in the standing now :-) I was at 
the same count but listed just in front of you. Guess I need to work harder 
on 20m. No ant there.

I moved the antenna to the phone band this afternoon, hoping to work them on 
SSB.

I laid in wait until their sunrise and up they popped.

Worked on 3799 down on 3790. (different from their announced plan) @0645Z.

They're now begging.
