Are you tonight be transmitting on any HF frequencies? If so, which ones?
I will try to listen for you if the conditions are right, over in the UK. If i hear you I will send you a reception report as verification.
Hi Graham,
It’s nice to hear from you and thanks for posting.
I am usually on 3.973 Mhz around 10:00 to 12:00 UTC. That’s early in the morning here.
I don’t get on much at night. Are you on digital modes any?
Rich, K0PIR
I meant to put will you be transmitting on any hf frequencies at the field day?
Oh yes! 20, 40 and 80 for sure Graham.
I just realized my answers were not posted. Sorry.
Nice to hear from you Graham. Did you work any stateside on Field Day?
Rich, K0PIR
Hello Rich. Thanks for getting back to me. I stayed up into the early hours of Sunday morning here in the UK, with my old Panasonic DR 49 Comms receiver but to no avail. I tried again on the Sunday but still no joy. Plenty of European stations but nothing stateside unfortunately. I listened on 20 mostly as I guessed you might be there. Think I need a better antenna……. Hope you had a good day.
Yes, conditions were very poor here. I worked one Alaskan station, but did not get any DX. I don’t remember hearing any.
Hopefully we get out of this low were are in and conditions improve. Maybe in 5 or 10 years, hi!
Best 73,
Rich, K0PIR
