[SADXA] V84SAA on 20m FT8

[Jim Wysocki]

Your experience is very similar to mine.  I went through bursts of 
calling followed by periods of listening.  I could only hear two or 
three W6 and W7 stations calling.  All of them called in vain.  I 
couldn't hear the JA pileup but it must have been substantial.  Tonight 
they worked virtually all JA's until they worked out the pileup.  Then 
they called CQ for about 10 minutes and answered no one.  Getting these 
guys has been a frustrating experience.  Generally if I don't break 
through a pileup the station on the other side has been very weak, so I 
don't feel too bad.  These guys have been strong but they can't hear W's 
very well.

Maybe I'll get lucky on 80 or 160, but I'm running out of time to make 
the QSOs.  At least I have them for a new digital contact.

In that period of time I only saw two US stations connect, both 7',s but neither got a report better than _ 20.GL de W0OGH

They're very strong at -05 but I'm on the wrong side of the mountain and can't break through. Maybe you're better situated and can make the QSO.GL & 73,  Jim  W9FI______________________________________________________________SADXA Website http://www.sadxa.orgSADXA mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/sadxaHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:SADXA at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netYou can support qsl.net: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
