Condx good MF at present WE2XGR/6 579 for long
periods this morn at 0040 utc 507.2 khz then slow qsb, good sig for a
qso.
At present 160m excellent UA0YAY and
UA0CW (zone 19) good signals plus some
UA9 stn(zone 18) from Asian Russia.
I worked a few to check the system, maybe the 3
inches of snow on the ground helps.
Lack of coordination on 500 khz is preventing a
realtime QSO across the pond. Prolonged beacon acty is not the
answer.
I would suggest to start with xband acty 500khz at
the USA end and 7Mhz thiis end, then if successful attempt 500 khz both
ends.
This was popular on 137 some years ago and worked
well.
I do not like email involved in this sort of QSO.
The norm at present seems to be Beacon acty and Email reporting plus Grabber
involvement.
If anyone is interested let me know.
In the meantime back to 160, it seems more
qso friendly and no Beacon QRM
