[SADXA] 40m Solar Noon FT8 Challange

[W7EXG (Bill)]

Thanks Dick. I appreciate your response. 

I think you're the 1st to report anything, even NADA, on FT8. 

Jerry and I both were lurking on the CW band at SN today, but we did not
hear any DX either. I have been typically beaming about 33 deg for starters
from 1900z to about 2025z. SN is now 1925z. 

I have head the East Coast working DX, but could not hear the DX just as you
mentioned. 

Dec. 21st appeared to be the best 40m SN DX day, although I had luck on
12/14 and 12/17.  A Croatian contest was active that day.  

12/21 should have been nice for the FT8 stations at SN. 

Thanks for taking a listen. 

73's
