I baggedd Suriname via the Dutch Army that was jungle training there.
 Because I was running the PRC 320 they sent me cards and unit patches and all sorts of cool-assed stuff.

We chatted a little, and I told the guy to stay dry and he said that was pretty much an impossible trick to accomplish there in the jungle. |

 This guy must be in a high-noise area, as he's stone deaf. Lol! I had him as well as -04, and I called and kept increasing the power until I was throwing 700 watts at him to no avail. He called CQ repeatedly sometimes, so I know he wasn't hearing anyone at that moment. It's a shame that it was my first time encountering Cambodia on the air and I couldn't seal the deal this time. I did see K9-Bob still calling to him long after he faded into nothingness at my QTH. |

ATNO for me! Just worked XU7GNY in Cambodia on my first call on 10M FT8! Saw him spotted, confirmed I could hear him, then changed my dipole from 17M to 10M.
XU7GNY 28.085 MHz MSHV EDIT: He's been spotted on 18.095 as well, but I cannot copy him at this time. |

I called him on 17M last night until I was blue in the face. Lol! I finally quit answering his CQ calls, even though he was booming. Obviously he has a severe noise problem on 17M, as he answered very few callers. He finally moved from 18.095 to the crowded 18.100 and did no better.

Well, I did just manage my second Cambodian contact, this time on 24.911. I gave him a -03 and received a -04 in return. J38R in Grenada is on 14.182 listening up 5-10. I've already racked up 3 slots on them this evening. Heading for the shower. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By K9-Bob: Congrats!! I worked them the other day, but my 15m contact never made the logbook. That's disappointing when it happens. I saw a guy on 20M FT8 call him about twenty times today with "R-18", which indicates that he was chosen and replied. On a whim, I checked XU7GNY's log on Clublog and saw where the guy had indeed made the log for 20M FT8. In fact, it was his only contact. I sent him an email to let him know how that he was successful, but I haven't heard anything back. I wrote down his QSO details in case he needs them. I'd like for someone to do that for me if I was ever in that situation. |

My most recent busted call was 20M SSB for CB0ZA. It was finally corrected after they checked the log and found I was logged with a "5" instead of a "9" in my call. The same thing happened with J38R today, but luckily I heard his error and corrected him quickly. Obviously that isn't the same as FT8 where there's no mistaking your call sign. Like you, I've had missing FT8 logs show up later. Good luck, as I know that's the last one you needed. |
