[WSWSS] Ping Jockey Web Site, JT44, and The Lack of W6's & W7's

[Tim Marek]

Hey Gang!

Each evening I steer my web browser to the Ping Jockey Web Site
hoping to find some stations logged on from the Western US. More
often than not I am the only station on from either Six or Seven land.

I am working hard at adding to my 2M JT44 Qso/Grid/State totals but
it's hard if no one else is active. 

Repeated JT44 CQ's on 144.140 in the evening go unanswered. Grids
that have resident "Weak Signal" types are silent except for contents
and even then it's hit and miss if they end up in your log. 

What to do? Anyone up for a weekly JT44 Net? The power of this mode
is awesome! From home I am able to work people that normally would 
not be audible unless it was from a tall mtn somewhere. WA7ADK in
DN31 (Utah) and myself seem to be able to work at will, over a very 
long and difficult path, even off the back of his yagi! 

So, does anyone want to join me on JT44 in the evenings? Any and all 
ideas & comments are appreciated!
