I was calling around 7 from northern BC, but I heard nothing. By that time, it was completely dark here and propagation appeared to be completely dead.
I had been listening all day to the CQ WW on 7.023 on my pixie transceiver. It was crazy busy, and it made me hopeful that the band would stay active until later.

Very poor here also. I did work a station in California but I
couldn't do it with my 5watts. I used
my 100 watt rig. I tried calling CQ on the BitX frequencies and
nothing, so I cheated and turned
on the amplifier and tried it with 2KW and still nothing. I turned
on the SDR web stations out east
and couldn't even hear myself with full power. I will try again
later.

Very poor propagation tonight. Only 2 QSOs with QRP
power several with 100 watts as the band faded and then nothing
even with 600 watts.
Is anyone up for trying late afternoon or early evening?
73 Willy?

thanks for the
research Willy. I just had 4 great QSO's
with guys in PA, MD, WI and KY on 7.277.
Started at 2148 Z to now at 2300 and
conditions generally got worse and worse.
The last QSO with PA was cut short even
after moving to 7.285. Conditions just are
not cooperating on 40M lately.?
I tend to agree that we are going to have to
try earlier time and/or frequency. Suggest
7.285 the old QRP freq. BTW I wasn't running
QRP this afternoon - only QRP contact was
VE3RDQ about 3 miles away! Will be back
tonight around 0000Z (7PM LOCAL) on 277 and
285.
