Title: WS4B & G3YPZ -first Gto USA QSO of the cycle on 29MHz? Post by: g3ypz on September 26, 2011, 06:00:27 PM Maybe not the first, although I'm not aware of any others, but certainly my first this cycle, except for a sporadic E QSO a couple of years ago. Brad was 57 and sounding great with his 130 watts and vertical antenna.
More tomorrow, I hope. will be checking 29.000 from 12:00 utc. 73 John G3YPZ Title: Re: WS4B & G3YPZ -first Gto USA QSO of the cycle on 29MHz? Post by: WS4B on September 26, 2011, 07:05:10 PM John:
Great working you today on 10. I heard an Italian station about 20 minutes after working you also calling on 29.000, but he was very weak and readability two to a three to me. He quickly faded. F-layer condx are improving, so I'm hoping for more across the pond contacts on 10 AM in the upcoming months. Let's hope solar number can cooperate!!!
