Monday afternoon/evening at arrive home from QRL
heard good at 3524kHz best copy so far 559
The first time at 80m in W-EU? so low chance with all the big guns in the waiting room
It has to be early just before our sunset to KH5 i think lost the signal before their sunrise
Later 20m weaker arctic flutter signal they need huge ERP to get in the log from here.
Palmyra K5P poor signals in this propagation
mainly working USA and JA
Here heard only at 7001 KHz today weak under heavy QRI DQRM tuners etc the usual lids
earlier this week better Q5 cpy 7014 and 30m
K5P 14081 RTTY heard but under decoding level.
poor propagation and D-QRM
Repaired the "CQWW" damage to 40/20m traps
The tuning is 100kc lower in the CW part but adjusting the tuning of the elements is possible with the sections and topload.
PE melted down.. now using PTFE tubes
Perfect match low in CW part 40 and 20 tuning 100kc lower with the PTFE fiber reinforced coil sections but that can be adjusted with the element tuning options.
This type of beam is considered as a child toy
It will explode when applying the power needed to work Palmyra if one can hear them in EU in a rare break of the LID QRI..
Poor propagation but in the HA DX 160m sudden hard to believe DX calls 100W cq

AA6RR cfmd by mail he was calling from Maine
AA6RR cfmd by mail he was calling from Maine
KD6UO will be in Maine aswell
No RBN TA spots at the time 160 has been extreme poor this season.
with just a few rare exceptions.

One other remarkable call 80m ,out of the blue on cq 100W

real 579 signal from Hokaido while other JA spots where not copy-able
that must be long path ? But if so one would expect more from K5P KH5 ?
a mystery for me

best DX

in WSPR this was best dx last night that is over normal.. yesterday zip DX f.i.

28MHz is poor but almost every morning decoded by VK2KRR
even today no signals heard no RBN reports

60m WSPR many decodes of ZS6SRL ZS6KTL and ZS4AFV last week
I wonder how to QSO ZS at 60m guess split TX 5.353 RX 5.290 ?
never saw a cluster spot of ZS it is easy in WSPR
