LF
If possible pse stick to UTC time for reports otherwise it
is difficult to know the optimum time to TX to DX
locations.
I do not use the BROADCAST or BEACON non
stop mode. In my case I am always in TX/RX mode awaiting
a response for a QSO.
I do not send CQ to save time. This has worked in the past
but at present listeners seem to report only via emails.
I do not sit up all night every night and only TX/RX at
selected times, normal HF procedure.
In Broadcast/Beacon mode there is more chance of being
seen/heard and getting mentioned in dispatches but I will stick to
QSO mode at times that suit me.
If you hear me pse call on any freq of your choice
but let me know where to listen LF/MF/HF
Looking back over the years condx at present are about
NORMAL and EU sigs should at this time of year be audible in NA at
least to W9 area. I do not think anyone was listening beyone W9 some years back.
Those that make it from EU to the most distant parts
would need to be running at least 1Watt ERP
