DX Report 11/7/14
« on: November 07, 2014, 05:25:11 AM »
Let's see what we have to list in the last few hours.

5W1SA 7.007 1020Z.

FY4TA pile ups are huge 14.023 with very good signal, spread is about 20 khz. 0400Z.

S01WS 18.072 0130, there have been some reports of a pirate operation with this one, best is if you work them, think you do, check the club log to see if you made it. Otherwise, you worked the pirate.. Shame we have such people.

VU4CB 21.260 plus cw on 14.040 up ten, 0045 on the 15 meter operation and 0100z on the twenty meter operation, cw is rather choppy, so listen closely.

9M2ZAK 28.009 0140Z.


On the 40 meter operation of FT4TA 7.023Khz. it is a mess, carriers, ditters, self appointed band cops, jamming, and all the nonsense that goes along with any dx expedition on 40. It does make it challenging, personally, if I work them on 40, fine, but the world will not end if I do not. I set my objective for 15 and 10 meter contacts and got them.

Phone on 7.082 and listening on 7.130 or 7.160 is also a mess, same type of tactics by those who want to ruin the fun for others, as I have mentioned, I may get a decent chance of a contact on 40, but, it is not a world shaking event if I do not.

In any event, be prepared for a huge pile up, on cw and ssb, of course good luck on gaining a contact.
