BITX QSO Night, Sunday, June 11, 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!

To participate, call CQ BITX at 7pm sharp, your local time, on Sunday. Call off and on for about 15 minutes. It is helpful if you call CQ BITX with your name and location.? Repeat your call a number of times if conditions are weak.

This is a worldwide event at 7pm in each time zone.? You may participate in any time zone, regardless of your location, so you may wish to call in at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, your local time, to contact hams in adjacent time zones.

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 at 7pm on Sunday.? Talk to you then!
 

Reminder, 7 pm Sunday night
 

Well, I am late to the party but I was listening on 7.277 an came running to receive QRM on 7.276. Did we ever agree on a secondary? And I just heard W1LY LOUD and CLEAR trying to contact the QRM in progress. And they moved. de KG5KYJ.
 

I heard KG5KYJ in MI but you did not hear me.
 

It were noisy.

I, too, was late to the party - around 7:45 CDT.

I caught two:?

KG5KYJ - SIG 58 or so, BitX to BitX QSO! about 00:45 GMT

KF4WBJ - SIG 54 - could be incorrect, but I *think* that was the call about 00:50 GMT

Wish I'd gotten there earlier, but got busy.

I'll be there with bells on next week.

HAHAH - one of my two QSOs was you!
 

No joy here. ?Lots of noise.?

Doug?
KD9CYF?
 

I heard KD9CYF calling several times. I did not get a response.
 

After weeks of trying I finally had some success! First QSO with Rick WB0NPM then Don ND6T. I also hear a few others but can't make them out. Rick mentioned an early net 8AM on 7186, may give that a try.
 

N9ARZ was 59 here in Coralville, IA but didn't hear me. Maybe next time.

no luck here .... have someone on a langue I do not understand here with 9++?
 

I was late coming in at around 7:30.? I faintly heard W1LY (or maybe someone who was in QSO with him) and then heard AD0RW call CQ but I think someone picked him up.? Not long after the QRM came in and covered them up so I shut it down.

Worked California from Rhode Island during a very short opening at what was probably near their sunset 02:50z. ? N6QW,Pete,,who appears to be a QRP GURU, came thru quite strong running what he said was a DifX( decidedly Different than a BitX). home brew rig. Check out his QRZ page. You will be amazed at the Rigs he has .

I then had a busted QSO with ND6T.Don,also in CA but conditions were less than ideal and only got parts of his transmission. If you want to work the left coast try around 03:00z

Had ?Q's with 9 stations last night running 5 +/- watts into an inverted V @ 50 feet but conditions were challenging .QRM QRN QSB ?and except for the short opening to the West coast,disappointing.?
