Sunday evening between 1800z and 1900z stations in the 6th and 7th districts were coming through here in Eastern England. They were all working other Stateside stations and I just couldn't break in because of the tremendous signal strength differential between my signals and theirs.

Today my contact with K0ETD in Tucson was tail-ended by Ken, K6CJA, in Wisperia, Ca. We had worked a number of times in Cycle 23, so were able to renew our acquaintance and catch up on the news from each end. Ron, K0ETD, was another one who I'd worked a number of times in the previous cycle. Still haven't heard any sign of WA3VJB, though. Where are you hiding, Paul?

Dave I haven't finished getting the mothballs out of the homebrew transmitter you worked me on last cycle, so I'm at just a dozen watts for now.  Strugglin' but I've worked UK, so the path is there.  Stay tooned ....

I'm listening out fer ya, Paul. A dozen watts or so should do fine when conditions are right.

CW is just a narrower version of AM

Yes, Mike, it was quite a surprise to get such good propagation so long after sunset here. Love the TA-12!

Let's hope conditions hold for a few months over the winter and we can get a few more AM QSOs on 10.

Paul, just to encourage you to get on with your dozen or so watts, I worked VE6CQ in Calgary yesterday and he was running 8W.
