I've done USA with QRP on 80m before so I knew it is possible. But with the propagation this bad it is still a miracle. But you know what they say. You have to be there to work the DX. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-89945314094943234852016-01-25T20:48:03.153+01:002016-01-25T20:48:03.153+01:00Thanks Mike, now I know it is not only me that has...Thanks Mike, now I know it is not only me that has problems to get out that day. But with at least 1 QSO you know that your signal is going out. Have a nice week as well. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-8758901258123232432016-01-25T04:17:25.097+01:002016-01-25T04:17:25.097+01:00I tried to get to the WSPR site and found it down ...I tried to get to the WSPR site and found it down this morning, too. After having a moderate station and then going to my indoor antennas and QRP, I know exactly where you are coming from. Congrats on the USA on 80! We are at the mercy of propagation more than ever but research (as you're doing) and timing is key. I love the online resources that we can use (mentioned in my blog tonight) which help us small stations work new ones. Keep up the good job and like you, family and job just get in the way of my ham radio hobby ;0) 73/72 AK7DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-2142707475748713662016-01-25T01:15:27.629+01:002016-01-25T01:15:27.629+01:00Good evening Bas, I too sure can understand the QR...Good evening Bas, I too sure can understand the QRP up's and down's I was on 20m JT-65 and managed to make one states side contact. Propagation was not really that good but one contact into the U.S is good for me. <br />Have a great week Bas<br />73, Mike VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
