[SOC] Asia?

[Charles Harpole]

USA to Thailand works, if at all, about 1300Z on 20m.  K3ZO gets thru every wk on our sked... but then he is FOC.  I worked Feb 9 at 1220Z two Fla stations on 15m SSB and the band closed like a door and switched to EU.  On 20m at about 1300, a KP4 called me on CW twice and then that door closed shut tight.  

 

I do hear Bangkok stations virtually any time day or night, including my sponsor to SOC, Mr. HS0ZDY.   I know that is a help.  Go SOC
