I have been calling for half an hour on 20m , only 1 reply from a local ham, and no QCX ... Now moving to 40m ... Luc ON7DQ

Hi all <ashamed />... In the various trials and tribulations of fighting the online applications process for my 3-year residents permit extension, I forgot all about it... I realized just a few minutes before the end of the session. I heard OK2BQN on 7030.5 and answered but he was weak with a lot of QSB, then RT3O came up CQing on frequency and very loud here, and I couldn't work OK2BQN. I heard some other QSO around 7030.0 but not for long enough to identify participants. So there was some activity, which was great! I shall try to do better at 1900Z :-) 73 Hans G0UPL

With my QCX 40 I clearly heard KJ4BQS at about 1945z on 7030. No joy on contact though. I am grid CM97vu in California near Yosemite NP. Will be back on for 0300 round.

I did work on 40m, 7029.5: YU7AE Kara QRP, but not QCX OM5VS Vlado (not QRP) I was very pleased to be called, after the OM5VS QSO and just after 10pm local time here, by Tada JR1BLX... yes I QSO'ed Japan 9,000km with my 5W QCX 40m... very nice! 73 Hans G0UPL

Tried the 1300z session on 20m, as I have several times in the last few months.
Still no QSOs at all despite numerous RBN spots for my CQs all including US. At least I heard some stations this time :-) Antenna a 1/4 wave vertical. Maybe 20m isn't the best band for QRP in the current radio conditions. 73, Neil G4BRK

Wow, I must stay awake next time for that time segment. I was on 40 shortly before 1300z and experienced the most rapid propagation collapse ever, from 599/599 with a Tokyo friend to unreadable the next minute. 20 was also dead of course, so i just shut down for the duration. JS6TMW

Saw you on RBN and listened and called many times. No contact. Sorry.
Clearly heard and called N4SO at 0355 on 7039.6. K4JTP many times. KJ4BQS and KI6KU many times. But no QSL from any. I am in California near Yosemite NP. Grid CM97vu

Thanks Brian! I’m glad to hear my signal made it out but sad I couldn’t hear you. I’m guessing propagation issues because last month CA stations were booming.

I missed the 1300 working in Glasgow and the 1900 driving home from Glasgow. I really like the idea of using the chat feature, I usually get the messages by email so I'd never noticed there was a chat! Will definitely use it next time. Sounds as if most people experienced pretty poor conditions though. If I have time to get my QCX to key my 100 watt Juma amp I'll try to join in the next QRO session. Is it on 2nd Monday?
