You must be a lot louder than I am, or something. I'd like to get them on more bands than just 20M, but I'm not sure if I am willing to devote hours and hours to each QSO.

I've tried for days on end and no joy. They were super strong on FT8, but sadly I wasn't heard.

6O3T is strong here on 10.133 FT8 3 streams, but no joy for past 40 min. PSK Reporter is showing my signal is making it everywhere but Africa right now.

I listened and called for 6O3T until they faded out on 30m.  The propagation gods are not in my favor today.

They are dealing with an S9 noise floor. Don't give up!

Same here, I gave up to watch some football. I can't copy them at all on 40m either.

Good deal Bob! I've not copied them on 40m well. I did manage to snag C5Y on 160m just now, another new one for that band!

Update: I managed to work them on 12m about an hour ago. They also had a good 10m signal just after sunrise but faded out quick, no joy.

Also picked up Somalia on 20M. 14.092 FT4.

It's been a good week for Africa.  I just got Burundi on 15m FT8.  Earlier in the week I got Somalia on 20m and Cameroon on 17.

And 9U1RU on 10m after my system decided to malfunction mid-QSO.

I was chasing 9U1RU the other day and my neighborhood lost power for a couple of hours.

3G9S Navarino Island southern tip of South America and LZ0A South Shetland Islands are on 14.090.

That's a bad freq for me with solid QRM signal most days.  I setup WSJT to listen to my input of a local web sdr so I could hear.  Slight delay because of network latency but made the contacts.

J51A is really efficient.  I just worked them on three bands FT8 back to back with a single call each time.

Added J51A on 40m FT8 a bit ago, only one attempt required.   Got them on 15m SSB now, tried a few times +5, then first time trying +10 got it.
It's really nice not having to leave the house to hear a DXpedition.

contest this weekend.. got Galapagos Islands, Morocco and Cape Verde on 10m for a few 'new to me' DX

And stuff I already had, mostly EU with some S.Americans.  Israel and South Africa, were the longest distance away.

This was using my newly constructed 10m EFHW..  not bad for a "fair" report for band conditions.

Kinda wish I had put up my 20m EFHW instead.

Yeah I hope that "fair" BS on the forecast isn't affecting anybody today.  I'm not on the air, working.

I hit Guam, Cayman Isands, Cape Verde, Argentina, Trinidad & Tobago, Australia, New Zealand, mostly 15m & 10m.

Bunch of JA stations on 40m Friday night, that was a first for me.

Band conditions were excellent for this.

CE0Y/DJ4EL is a 1-man dxpedition out of Easter Island and he's been running SSB simplex.  I got him on 21.260 earlier. He was about 57 here in MA.

I thought it was kind of fun to speak with Easter Island on Easter weekend.
Looks like he is on 24.935 at the moment.
