Free For All Friday?

In the past, there has ben a tradition (?) of, for the last day, no-holds-barred.? Anyone who wants to get on the air, no matter if there are several ops per band, may do so.
I believe at least two of the other colonies will be doing this. I don't care, one way or the other. Throwing it out there for the group. I recall, there may be some technical reasons why this should not be done in digital modes (Tim, AA4SS, can you chime in here?). David, K2WPM |
开云体育It really should make no difference.?? Imagine there are 4 K2B stations on 40m at the same time.? What does it matter?? At worst there’ll be a few dupes, but overall it expands the log database! ? ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Wright

I think that more than one station on a band using the same callsign on FT8 would likely be chaos. Also true if more than one was using FT4 on a single band. I hope we won’t do that.? No problem, however, with one station on FT4 and one using FT8 on the same band. They don’t get in each other’s hair.? 73, Kay N3KN On Wed, Jul 5, 2023 at 11:37 PM David Wright <dwright@...> wrote: In the past, there has ben a tradition (?) of, for the last day, no-holds-barred.?

Power company is supposed to show up around 11, I had to pull out of the 40 ?11-12 slot. Ian KN4TBG On Wed, Jul 5, 2023 at 23:44 Jim N3JT via <jim=[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育I checked all K2 stations. Confirmed K2L is doing free-for-all just for CW and SSB, on Friday. Since it’s been difficult for us to cover many slots – even with a single op - it’s difficult for me to imagine two or three K2B ops wanting to get on at the same time in the same slot, but feel free to do as you deem prudent. ?

开云体育In the dumb question department, I’ve always wondered, when I post a spot on dxsummit, it lists me as “K2WPM-@” Anyone know what the “-@” signifies? I thought it meant I was affiliated with the station I am spotting (K2B), but it looks like it’s actually something different. ? David, K2WPM K2B Coordinator – 13 Colonies ?

For FT8/4 I think it would be confusing unless you identify the 2 stations. Would end up answering each others calls.? No reason not to do it on cw/SSB that I see.?

One station runs FT8 and the other FT4. WIN! Worked 4 stations on the last RS-44 pass one right after the other.? So not as much productivity as you HF folks, but the K2B satellite 3-some are getting there.?? 73 Steve KS1G? On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 12:48?PM KN4DUF <KN4DUF@...> wrote:

David,
It is 10:53 and I have to retire. 20 is hopping. I worked a lot of west coast on the high beam and several Europeans on the middle beam. This has been a lot of fun.
73,

NX3A is on 14.265, in case anyone is interested.
Would be nice to communicate. I wii stand down. David, K2WPM |

You're the best, Carl.
Many thanks. Privileged to have you with K2B. Folks, I have added a second row on spreadsheet for 40 meter SSB, 40 meter CW, 20 meter SSB and 20 meter CW, in the unlikely event someone wants to do a free for all on those prime bands/modes.? Really hoping we can even have coverage for single ops on slots across the day and evening .... If you want to add a row for another band, please feel free to do so. Please sign in when you decide to take a slot. Twice yesterday I grabbed what I thought was an empty slot, only to find two K2B's being spotted on dxsummit ... Thanks again for everyone's efforts.? You make Virginia hams shine. With a good effort today, from what I see and hear (and my own surpassing last year by 25%), we will hit 25,000 contacts. David, K2WPM |
