Hi John,
Thanks for your comments. The hunt started almost two hours before sunset here so absorption was still pretty high and my noise was low. My inverted V doublet doesn¡¯t put much RF at the low elevation needed to reach the east coast as I found out during the winter season. I¡¯m thinking of trying a vertical next year.
I¡¯ll be playing in the FQP a little this weekend and hope to work you then.
GL & 73,
Brian, K0DTJ

?Very sorry I didn't hear you last night Brian. Nice to know you could hear me. I heard noone west of CO. And if I couldn't hear W9CF, the conditions were truly bad. Will post my log in about an hour. 73/72, John, K4BAI.

Let me try again ....
Pretty bleak from the west coast but about what I expected. Worked 3 and heard three others. Worked:
NK6A 0104 599/559 CA Don 5w
W9CF 0106 559/559 AZ Kevin 5w
KR0U 0136 559/339 CO Tim 5w
Heard NO2D, WC7S and K4BAI but no joy calling them.
Also was called QRO by W6JTI Frank CA. Asked him to QRP to 5w and he did. I explained what the "FOX" was all about and he said he'd check it out so maybe he will join us on 20 this summer.
72,
Brian, K0DTJ
