Don't give up, I heard both fox's last nite and both never got over 529 with
an external 20db preamp. Props are very bad and it makes no diff how much
power you run, if there are no props in your area you ain't gonna work em.
Quoting n6nvp@...:
I've only been back on the air for about 6 months and am brand new to QRP
Fox Hunting but...
I am guessing that what I'm experiencing right now is the lowest point of
the solar cycle (I hope!) on a band extremely affected by the same.??? I
haven't worked a fox in the 3 hunts I've participated in, thus far - and
didn't even hear a fox or hound, last night. Some of that is surely my lack
of experience, some of it is the known problems with my antenna but I'm
hoping most of that is due to conditions.
I think if any rule change is in order, it would be: No poor or variable
conditions on 40 meters. None. Zero-tolerance. I want it stopped and I want
it stopped NOW.
Lloyd - I'm trusting you or Doc to take care of this. Please let me know
when you're done.
