TN8N - CONGO
« on: January 06, 2023, 01:08:17 PM »

Started few hours ago on 14.025. They are 599+25dB, but that is to be expected from this team of Czech operators.

8 operators: OK1BOA OK1FCJ OK1CRM OK1GK OK2ZA OK2ZC OK2ZI OK6DJ

9 radios

Ditto. Barring a magical opening on 6m I'm good from 10-160, all three modes. Might fill in a greenie or two on FT8.

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

Easily worked on 20 cw earlier this afternoon. 

Not needed, but don't have it confirmed on 20 cw. 

Sitting this one out for the most part.

Hi Dragan,

Thanks for noticing my typo.

If a moderator reads this, please edit the title to read: "TN8K - CONGO"

Thanks,

A few band fills would be nice.  But with  Crozet and Bouvet, I wonder, is it possible to OD on the sweet, sweet DX?

Congrats on the new one James!  I can use them on 30 and below.  Have them worked 20-10 meters.

Note that when in FT8 they will be transmitting in normal mode, multi-stream. No F/H expected.

Yes, before calling them yesterday, I first observed if there were any stations successfully completing their QSOs above +1000 without moving down. Many stations were still using Fox/Hound, but some stations completed their QSOs without changing their TX frequency. It looks like MSHV may be becoming the favourite of the very recent DXpeditions (TN8K, FT8WW, T33T, etc).

The problem with F/H is you move down and then are covered up by people calling on their spot in the waterfall. Can't remember which, but one DXpedition I used F/H and would get a reply, then no RR73. Happened twice. Finally turned off F/H and bam! Got an RR73 in one call.

In short, it was a good idea. But it depends on callers that are educated and follow the plan. Too many are not.

Loud and easy on both 30 FT8 and 40 CW this evening. Both are new bands for me as I only worked TN5R on 20, 17, and 15m back in 2018.
