Lots of locals here in W3 and W4 working them on 17M CW Monday afternoon. They stopped to chat with Bernie for a minute.

At least one EA got in the log on 17M.

A bit later they took a break and called for Asia/JA only. Worked a couple VK's, then a famous JA call ending with "D" ... they came back with his call but with a B on the end... typical extra-polite JA, he did not come back till they used his correct call.

They are super easy to hear on 30M CW working JA's.

Pretty good signals into G from them on 15m today, 59 at times.

A bit of luck for me, the vfo on 21.285 whilst I was working in the shack, maybe first ssb qso in their log, no pile-up and they were not getting any takers until i spotted them on cdxc closed cluster. A bit surprising considering it was a pre publsihed qrg for VP8STI, there's usually a few laying in wait in those situations.

Came up nicely to s-4/5 here in central FL on 17 CW - condx here rotating dipole up 35 feet and 600 watts - worked after a couple of calls...I think my best 1st day luck ever.

Hi Andy

Reliably informed PA2LO was first in the SSB log. All in all, who cares about that...congrats for the Q

I thought I heard him go through after me, but I may him confused with a few cdxc PA's who went through after I spotted it. But as you say, it matters not, just odd to hear forlorn unanswered cq calls by VP8STI  ;D

Finally home from work. I can hear them pretty well on 30m.. workable signal. It's a little weak and fluttery but no real problems copying them. Hopefully it at least sustains this sig level or better.. they should have a good opportunity to pick this band clean in no time. Big pileup, but fantastic op on the other end knocking them out one after the other at a really good rate.

I will say though.. over enthusiastic cops & people who don't check their vfo are out in full force tonight.

VP8STI now has two stations running on 20 m simultaneously, 14.023 & 14.185. The CW is 519 and the SSB station is 55. Nice work!

I'm glad that you were able to atone for a long-ago rookie DXing sin.

"THINK" I made it in the log on 30 meters this evening.  The QRM was REALLY bad, and he called me at least twice before I heard him good enough to be sure, plus, I think I was lulled into dozing.. hi
The last call from him was "AF3Y TU", and only THEN did I answer.  He may have moved on before hearing me....... only their log can tell. DAMN QRMers anyway...  >:(

I had basically the same thing happen on 30.

Then on 20 there was someone playing a recording over and over and over on the DX frequency.
