[SADXA] DX Spot

[Carl Foster]

I got RM0F as well this morning. I, too, was surprised at how many stations could not copy a 1200-watt signal at 18 wpm when they were running 25 wpm and bumping my S-meter with 18 dB of attenuation. I slowed to 16 wpm to get one DX contact, but I got it. Oh well, this contest is in the books. No new DX countries this time. I put in for my 160 WAS and 6-meter VUCC, so I need to visit Michaels to get a couple more cheap frames. Carl  KB7AZ Sent from my HAL 9000

Yesterday AM I worked 6 JAs and one BY.  There was another BY on this morning with a decent signal but he was deaf.  Lotsa callers but I never heard him answer anyone.  It's funny that even without an RX antenna (that everyone says is necessary) I still hear better than I get out on topband.Sometimes I think of QRO, but I only got on this band to make 9-band DXCC and I'm at 144 confirmed.  At my age I should be cutting back, not building a better station :-)WesOn 1/30/2022 11:25 AM, Carl Foster wrote:> Hi Wes,Thanks for the DX spot, but no luck. I heard you on 160 this morning trying to work a JA station. The JA signals were unusually weak this time. I didn't work any in this 160 contest, but have in the past. Jim is calling 3X2021 now.
