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

[wally lau]

Hi  Joe;
Yes, I do agree with you... there needs to be more dedication during 
major openings on 2m  from NA.
Some 2M operators only care about working their local buddies. We need 
to change this.
I worked you on 6m and you gave me a 5 5 s<>ig  for my 100 watts.. You 
were 59.  I  tried many times on
2M on 144.200  with 1WK and 30 elements and never hrd anything from EU 
.  I  worked many many EU stations on 6m the last few days. The 2M
E  skip was very good for me but only to the West ...... worked many.
So; Joe don't get frustrated......... I  know it is possible to make a 
2m TA QSO from EU to NA
