Hey, you guys were having fun so please excuse my P&M Grin Grin Grin

I was happy to see the activity. I'll try a little earlier tonight maybe around 11:00 PM as I'm not much of a night owl.


I did try calling CQ right on 7.240 but nobody wuz home Cry Cry Cry

If eater one or anyone on the board is going to be on around that time, PM me here!

Just on there 7.220. Nobody home! I was listening to the BBC on 7.310 broadcasting from Beijing,China. I was checking their frequency and suddenly, they went off the air. Radio Bonn Germany was on 7.240 at 1 AM eastern and by 1:15 they were gone. Do people in these foreign countries know when to tune in?

Well anyhow I bellowed out a couple of CQ's and called it a night Grin Grin

Hi Tim, I figured as much about your schedule and when you are on. I have been spreading the word about 7.220 and 7.240 as an alternate. I just spoke with K1RMA on 7.290 and he said he would try to make it some evening. I'll be on there around 11:00 PM tonight so if anyone would like to join in, please do Grin Grin Grin

I will be back on 7.290 at 12:30 AM or in about ten minutes with WA1HLR. Band conditions don't seem too good for under 200 miles right now suggesting that the band is long.

I still vote for 7.130 ish during late evening and post midnights -- That way you know you wont have a blasted broadcast station fire up ontop of your ongoing QSO.
