7 Mhz is a better xband freq for the USA during late
evening and nite time.
Lately the USA stations heard on 40 metres are vy strong.
I usually use 7033 or 7022 Khz.

Dear Jim, Mal and LF Group
Unfortunately the tower is
not nearby my house and I can't leave the station running unattended. And the
nights I can spend in Sottens are limited by my health and my wife, hi. So
there is no trial before, I have just next Friday night.
If I take a look
at the reports we got in the past two weeks from stations 2000-3000km away
(always good audible), it should be possible to span 6000km using
QRSS10.
On the receiving side, we may be able to see stations let's say
with QRSS60. This would mean, that we could make only one or two QSO's. May be
it's better to try Crossband: we transmit in QRSS10 and listen on 80m. This
would give more stations the opportunity to contact us. However, if there is a
station from the East Coast we copy in QRSS10 it would get the
priority.
What do you think about this approach?

Dear
Toni, LF Group,
HE3OM has the advantage of a much stronger TX signal
than most Eu stations, so I guess you have a good chance of being copied in
NA on Friday night, unless the propagation is very poor. But as you will
have seen from the activity last weekend, forward planning is always a good
thing, especially where a single QSO takes hours. If possible, I would
suggest transmitting some beacon signals from HE3OM between now and Friday,
so that North American stations can get a good idea what QRSS speed can be
copied from your station. Also, try to receive any W/VE beacons that might
be running, so that you also know what the requirement will be in the other
direction. Finally, I have usually found reception of US stations is best
just before dawn here, so make sure you are not going to be busy on
Saturday!
Good luck,
Cheers, Jim Moritz
