Tnx ur msg

A good time I find for TA is around 2230 - 0200 utc signals build up before this time and then taper off and then peak again in the morning before my sunrise. The best freq for the USA observers is 136.318 plus/minus. but you can make arrangements with them about your plans and for their suggestions. You should have no trouble making a TA contact with your strong signal.

Keep the QSO as short as possible with just the essential information and be prepared to reduce speed if necessary to maybe qrs30 if condx are poor.

I have been successful recently on the TA path under variable conditions, being observed but did not QSO.

I was able to make it last evening to 4X1RF with QSO quality signal. Your signal was also strong in Haifa

 

Good luck with the DX

Good morning Mal
Thank you for the information. The whole evening I've been sitting at the SW-stations on 160m at the second tower (188m high), HB9DUL, Iacopo was operating the LF-Station. He told me, that we have made a QSO with ES5AM. His signal here was very strong in QRSS3.

Last Sunday I had already a QSO with RN3AGC. 2350km at noon over a land path, not bad. I don't think, we have a receiver problem. Rather a TX problem, hi.
Now we would like to do the final step: A transatlantic QSO - I mean a real QSO, no beaconing. I think we should arrive at the East coast more or less at noise level, so we should be readable in QRSS3. On the receive side, we can go as long as needed. Are there powerful stations over there or just listeners or the so called grabbers?

HE3OM will be QRV until the end of the month. So we still have two weekends. Then its over for the crocodile.

You seem to have a RX problem again. You keep asking stns to QRS, and you cannot hear me althougt a report from DL gives me 25 dB above noise.
