[SADXA] More Info on VK0EK

[W7EXG (Bill)]

Thanks Jim.. 

Also, my error, and should have reported RAY W2RS made the original
observations. 

Yes they are currenlty on 40m digital, and 30m CW. I can hear the East CW
Stations calling, and VK0EK is logging 2,3,4 and 5.  But I hear nothing
here..both long/short path.  I'm pointing my 3 ele 30m yagi (42 ft boom)@ 60
ft. at 186 and 6 deg.. and hear NOTHING on 10.116. I think eventually the
propagation will come our way.. BUT, I'm a DUCK fan, and going to watch the
game. I'll check in later.. maybe propagation will be better then. Also, I
plan to ride the grayline wave in the morning, as Ray was suggesting.  

Perhaps hear you and others on. Not sure of their geographical relative
positions. 

73s, Bill W7EXG

Thanks for the clarification, Bill.  I just got on their logging site 
and see that at the moment they're on 40 digital and 30 CW. It's slow, 
at only about 3 QSOs per minute for both stations.  I can hear the 
pileup and the spots place them on 10.116.0.  But they're so weak that I 
need ESP to copy their signal, which unfortunately I don't have.  Even 
if I did, they'd need ESP as well to pull out my signal from the noise 
level.

It looks like their first QTH is the one with a mountain between them 
and us.  Anybody know for sure if that's the case?
