Hi Willy,
OK, see you tomorrow 03-04 UTC, I will call cq cw around 7032khz and after we can try SSB. Will send you mail tomorrow when I start or will spot on Cluster.
Now I TX-ing WSRP to west... check conditions :)
73,
Good Luck,
CUL,

Hi Andy, Thanks for reply.Lets try CW & SSB. SSB will be the real test. What frequency do your phased verticals like? I do not have my Moxon up and my inverted v is tuned for upper end of 40m (7.3MHz) but I can use it anywhere on 40. I will listen from 0300z to 0400z and watch my email or DXSUMMIT for your freq. Where would you like to operate?

I don't believe VOACAP :) especially during Sunrise... so we can
try next days in my SR, about 03 UTC.
I prefer CW but OK also for LSB. I made many CW QRP QSO's with NA
stations before with K2(5W) and 2 el phased verticals.
Antenna's are still alive and last days sometimes transmitting
WSPR during night to west, about 15miliWatts with bitx +
attenuator + Raspberry PI. Received also few reports from USA :)

VOACAP propagation tools give only about a 10% chance unless
high gain antennas are used. It looks like Spain might be the
best shot.

Subject: Europe to States BitX QSO
To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
<mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>
I would like to complete a BitX/BitX QSO over the pond.
I have worked 30 DXCC entities SSB since I finished my
BitX40 in
April.
The farthest was ZS6CCY at 12,500km but
Most of those stations have BIG GUN antennas and I only
have an
inverted V at 18 m.
I will set up a 40 meter Moxon pointed at Europe if the
inverted v
is not enough
I think that the hour before sunrise at your location
would give
us the best chance.
If you have completed a BitX/BitX EU-USA QSO let me know
what worked.
If anyone has an interest in this test drop me a line.
73, Willy W1LY
