Hi Hans, we understand ... busy times for you.
But of course we will be happy when you are back in the QCX parties !
Chris,
best is to join the discord sked page (??) , in the #qrp-operating channel, where we post our QRG, band changes, etc
as an alternative, use some RBN spotting pages to find us
My two favourites are?
click the band of interest, and reduce the time frame (Max Age) to 5 or 10 minutes
and
same thing : select your band, reduce the lower and upper frequency limits, and select the area where stations were heard (e.g. only EU and NA)
wait a little until the page refreshes, and the band will be repositioned
this gives a nice overview of who is where, and also helps finding a clear qrg to call CQ, since sending QRL? with QRP power is not always heard, and some distant station may start using the frequency over your head ...
Now my report
Yesterday was not a big succes, the bands were very bad.
At 1300 I had only three QSO's on 30m, one QCX (thanks Zdenek OK2BQN)
At 1900 I had one QSO with SP7ASZ on 60m (using my QCX-40m), but OM Andy was not using a QCX.
It got so bad that we moved to 80m (I know , not a WARC band, and I don't have a QCX for 80m), but I worked Martin DK3UW and Zdenek O2BQN with my IC-7300 at 5W, so it was at least a 2x QRP QSO, hi.?
Let's hope for better condx on Nov 29th.
73,
