BITX QSO Afternoon/Evening, Sunday, April 29, 3PM & 7PM Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere.

Join us as we make contacts from BITX40 to BITX40 on 7.277 MHz in 40 meters!

This is a worldwide event for BITX40 stations starting at 7pm in each time zone. To participate, call CQ BITX on Sunday, starting at?3PM and/or 7PM?your local time. The BITX QSO Night continues through the evening and conditions usually improve after sunset, so it is worthwhile to participate later in the evening.

Suggested Best Operating Practices:

Work at QRP power levels unless conditions require more power.
Call and listen for CQ BITX on the hour and every quarter hour.
It is helpful if you call CQ BITX with your callsign, name and location.?
Repeat your callsign a number of times during your CQ BITX and during QSO's.
Start a QSO by confirming the callsign, location, name and signal report of the other operator.
Say the callsign, name and location of the other operator so others can hear.
If the frequency is busy, avoid long conversations.
After your initial QSO is complete, ask if there are any other stations who would like to contact.

Report your QSO's, discuss propagation, noise, signal reports, audio reports, antenna type, etc. in this thread.

This is an undirected, scheduled event.? The BITX QSO Night relies on you to call CQ BITX to initiate contacts with other stations, so warm up that final and transmit a few calls on Sunday evening.? Talk to you then!

Are you kids still doing this. I thought you would have learned by now that QRP low power SSB is what to do if you don't to be heard. Or am I missing your point? If you could you should at least try CW or digital modes. If you are just smart enough to get your Indian POS BITX 40 or uBITX upgraded and running on digital modes making QSO'S with each other and real hams in nearby DX stations with rotatable beam antennas, and real name brand Japanese radios.


 

Go troll somewhere else


 

Best to not feed them the attention they apparently crave,
they will starve and wither away.

Trolling or not, you folks are mostly reporting noise and hearing nothing for hours with only few successes. QRP SSB is impractle without good equipment, antenna knowledge, and ideal operating locations and contitions. Most cheap Hams have none of these things and complain.?


 

I don't seem to have much trouble going qrp to qrp at 800 miles. I can't hear em closer than about 300 usually.?

Who makes me laugh (and cry) are those who turn on the Linear every time they are on 40. They know who they are.

Hope to make some contacts today with y'all.
