H44KW V63ZM the (allmost) unworkables

H44KW 10114kHz CW this evening again working EU  weaker but just after EA8AK? (QSO B4 )  I called at his QSX  and this time he came back woow  my first QSO with the Solomon Isl. was a fact 3D2RX  7011.3  worked being  the 3rd  40m 3D2 this month To say it in one phrase: DX hunting can be a frustrating thing.   Some DXCC  seem  unworkable no matter how loud they are.    V63ZM 80cw  and   H44KW 10106 cw   real loud. Must have huge pile yes but it was spread out and it did not seem that busy to me. But never a chance  only special ear for G  heard  no ears for other W-EU ?  deja vue  V63ZM  heavy QRN ? My ERP is too low?   in the ARRL 1 call 100W to a not very strong big gun was enough it can not be that Now I was calling with  PA . What more do I need  to be able to work V63ZM and H44KW? Easier to work the  Fiji islands or ZL ...

S57A 474 kHz V63ZM 80 cw

Most activity was in WSPR  but some CW QSO have been made using the FLEX1500 at 474.200kHz I need to make a X-verter  for this band anyway since the Flex is having some spurious  6.5kHz +/- Pity it looked an easy way to be on this 630m. I received this nice card.  I have been long time in Slovenia near Ormoz Ljutomer Ptuj  Jeruzalem I know the area a bit good memories.   Yesterday I was attending 80/160 Sunset here  Heard V63ZM  starting CQ at 3507    real nice signal  peaking 579 Despite I called right from the start when the cluster spots did not yet reached the 80m QRI folks to initiate the ZOO. He worked almost exclusively OK UA I  few    DL's  ( close to OK I guess)   I tried  all the tactics,  calling at QSX  just after a QSO  ( not on top as the usuals do...)  called little above  or below QSX or in a clean QSX freq .  But sometimes it feels like ...

ARRL DX CW 2013

Mostly S&P    running low power  & dipole The 7 call district was the touch one here with auroral flutter. Only the big guns came through. Idaho and Wyoming  not heard  Nevada heard only. But even the 1,2,3,4,5 call district have rare ones Like Maine  ME  DC MS Besides the good signals and operators from Stateside.  Checking off all states in the map that was always my attraction for the ARRL contest. 49 USA States + 14 VE Provinces   including the 5 never heard NWT LB MB YT NU  and rare AB behind the AURORA shield that we have to deal with more than S/SE EU   KH6 is DX 63 multy's  x 6 bands is the maximum. Propagation was not super  but good enough.  10m was open more on Sunday  even to  CA. I did not have a beam up that would have been nice  but a small physical problem held me down. When running CQ with beam a more comfortable signal could attrack the missin...

Spring is in the air / keep heads down for DA14 tonight

Why should I ?                                          this blog contains  Dunglish new one  ZK3T  7004 CW  fb one man operation ZK3T – Tokelau Heard yesterday strong at 14007 kHz  CW  but dinner was ready... and heard at 80m CW   that is  I heard  539 clearly cqcqc Zk3T  up  at 3502 That does not necessary mean it was real since 80M is populated by some of the worse QRI types but his signal if it was a slim it was well done it sounded real not to strong It took a wile to have clear copy at 3502  because at least 5 calling on top or very near having extreme keyclicks. I am a bad DX'r  since my timing is often wrong  also this time this time I was too late to switch the PA and antenna when I was ready to call he was QRT. That happens normally only with real DX.... Propagati...
