[TransAtlantic] TransAtlantic 2m - where is NA?????

[J. Kraft]

Hi all,

a few hours ago there was another big chance:
I hrd the 4m NA beacon WX9FXT from FM07 peaking 599 over more than 15
mins,
and 2m to Azores Islands (CU8, HM49) was also open with 59.

Once AGAIN I was not able to find ANY NA station on the East coast
for a test on 2m.
For me this is extremely frustrating!!!!
I was on all ON4KST chats (6m and 2m) and made cluster spots,
that I call o 144.198 to NA.
No feedback from NA.

I don`t think that it will ever be possible to make a 2m TA QSO from
EU to NA, with virtually NO activity from NA during major openings.
Theory is nice, but where is the practice????

Of course, I monitored for the 2m NA beacons, but hrd nothing.

There is definitely more dedication needed from NA operators
during such events. It`s soooo easy nowadays to follow what is going on
if you are on the NA ON4KST chats.
