A while back I saw a P5 on one of the clusters and figured it was bogus but I just HAD to tune it in. It was some clown from Minnesota that just wanted his own pileup and he got it! I was tempted to try and work him but figured "why bother?". |

But I've been having trouble hearing ANYBODY the last few days and didn't want to just dismiss it outright. Thought I should ask just in case it was real and someone else could get a shot at a super rare one. Conditions have been more screwy than normal for me lately. Today I couldn't hear stations (CA, OR, NV, ID, etc.) that normally sound like they're in the same room. But there was a POTA station in OH coming in at S8 and I couldn't hear ANY of the stations he was talking to. |

First rule of DXing: Log them first, worry about where they are second! And you are right, things have been goofy lately. I've been able to hit places I usually have difficulty with and can't hit places I usually hit easily. Even continental stations have been difficult at times. Very strange conditions. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Clown_Gun: I can just barely hear him. It was a very tough QSO. I could hear him better than he could hear me. We spent like 3 minutes on my call sign, but he was very kind to persist and not give up on me. Eventually he got it. We chatted a little bit, which was rough but ok. Nice fellow. |

I spent a lot of time on 12M today, hoping for Norfolk Island, and missed him (according to DX Summit) when I took a break away from the radio for an hour. My short list: VK9DX NH2DX or KG6JDX 8Q7RM ZC4GR (had an uncompleted QSO with him) V47JA Z61DX (another uncompleted QSO) |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BLKVooDoo: I really should start playing with FT8.... I have been putting it off for a long time. Between 03/03/21 and 11/12/21 I've made contacts in 137 different countries on FT8 and FT4. I think M4Madness has that many in the past week. That software can decode signals that are so weak it's amazing. Edit .. On re-reading this it may come off as me taking a shot at M4Madness and it wasn't meant that way. I got him interested in FT8, we swap text messages a lot, and I think what he has done in a very short time is admirable. That comment was just me teasing him and if it gave the wrong impression I apologize. |
