BITX QSO Afternoon/Evening, Sunday, June 3, 3PM & 7PM Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere.
Join us as we make contacts with our BitX-40s or uBitXs or anything else on 7.277 MHz in 40 meters! This is a worldwide event for BitX40 (and other QRP)?stations starting at 3PM and 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. 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! |

Wouldn't be easier to set fixed UTC hours instead of local time? Local Time just too dispersive in my opinion. Il 01/giu/2018 13:07, "John P" <j.m.price@...> ha scritto:

Why not keeping just one frequency like, 7177 which is common to both sides of the Atlantic and the other oceans? Il 04/giu/2018 01:07, "John P" <j.m.price@...> ha scritto: Nuttin but noisze here, and a lot of it! Anyone else on? |
