April 30, 2018, 9:59 p.m. I only hv ants for 160 & 6 atm tho, I plan to put up an 80 thru 10 dipole (G5RV) eventually. de Ed W-KY EM56
April 30, 2018, 9:02 p.m. Ed, FT8 is worth looking into in my opinion. Once you're up and running with the software, it boils down the concepts of DXing to the most basic parts... weak signal mode, and quick contacts with the most basic information exchanged. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 9:01 p.m. Ed, maybe you'll catch me on phone sometime. I'm sure my signal is scorching the earth in Kentucky on 80 or 40 meters. I've gotten reports of 20 over S9 down your way using my 600 watts. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 8:34 p.m. I'm not set up to run FT8, Andrew... I'm just a CW / Phone op. de Ed W-KY EM56
April 30, 2018, 8:29 p.m. From WTFDA home page "....WTFDA is the only Radio hobby club in North America that caters to the TV and FM DXer, as well as the amateur radio operator who looks for DX on 6 meters." de Ed W-KY EM56
April 30, 2018, 5:48 p.m. I've found the FT8 mode to be very exciting. I started using it just yesterday and was able to contact New Zealand using only 25 watts!! de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 5:41 p.m. Thanks Jim. Does anyone else use FT8? I like that I can leave it running all day and come back and see what it has logged. It's like the RabbitEars autologger. You don't actually have to be present for the DX. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 5:31 p.m. It is acceptable Andrew. IF you go to the WTFDA homepage, the bottom paragraph includes DX on 6 meters de Jim-T MO EM37
April 30, 2018, 3:08 p.m. Is it acceptable to post my 6 meter band meteor scatter here? It's probably the only meteor scatter I ever get due to the FM band being so trashed. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 3:05 p.m. Ms 50.313 WB2UJS Ridge, NY @ 455 miles (FT8 mode) de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 12:51 p.m. So far, I've seent N8BJQ calling CQ on 50.313, but he's near Dayton, OH (~150 miles)... FT8 is amazing at capturing signals in the dirt. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 30, 2018, 12:47 p.m. I was parked on 50.125 during Friday's e-skip and heard nothing. The 50.313 FT8 frequency sounded very active. I will keep it parked there to monitor for any 6 meter e-skip. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

April 29, 2018, 11:58 p.m. Bands are 28.15-28.3 and 50.0-50.08 MHz. de WRH ON FN03
April 29, 2018, 11:57 p.m. Re: 4/28 15:20 : Jim, there are lots of 24/7 CW beacons in both 28 & 50 MHz bands to use as prop beacons - de WRH ON FN03
April 29, 2018, 5:06 p.m. Ed, the new, shiny DX mode is FT8. I heard a bunch of FT8 cacophony on 50.313 USB when I checked during the e-skip on Friday, but that's all I heard on 6 meters. It seems like FT8 is now widely used, and I just figured out how to get my software running to decode it. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

April 28, 2018, 3:41 p.m. Ed, in 2008 you used the MXV-5100 and later switched to the CS-1100. Did you detect any differences in performance between the two? Thanks. de indysteve IN EM69

April 27, 2018, 5:58 p.m. Check the Icom's manual and see what 'CW offset' is used... usually 700-800 Hz range will be the factory default setting. de Ed W-KY EM56
April 27, 2018, 5:50 p.m. You're looking for a tone... probably a 700 or 800 cycle note in CW mode. de Ed W-KY EM56
April 27, 2018, 5:44 p.m. Thanks Ed, what does it sound like? I have an Icom IC-7200 transceiver that goes up to 60 MHz, so channel 2 will be the only channel I can check for. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

April 26, 2018, 1:37 p.m. A few years ago when WVIA Scranton's tower/site was vandalized, commercial WNEP let them use their previous transition facility (ch 49) for over a year while repairs were made. Today they are sharing on WNEP as result of FCC Auction. de dtvdxer NY FN31

April 25, 2018, 10:54 p.m. I'm hearing lots of Spanish on 27.065 with references to Puerto Rico. I'd assume this is going to become normal with the e-skip season approaching? It's the first time I've really monitored these frequencies on an HF radio. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
