Yes Dave I called a few times. The guys I heard must be using ricer exciters. Pretty stable. They were on for so long I thought it was a birdie!

Dunno if I will still be awake at 11AM today but I'll keep an ear on that spot. Are you on weekends too?
 73 Dave,
Dave.

Worked KC9MUM, WN9U, K9TNN and W9CBN all on 29020 @ 0100 GMT from here in NJ. They are on most every evening.

Advanced modulation of course.

Same group from Mill-wacky on tonight and 3 times last week. Big signals 29020.

Also worked W0SS and W0BVR in Iowa.

Huge ducting opening tonight in the East to Midwest. 6 should be interesting.

On 29020 right now.
