I had too many spots coming from Ham Alert, , so it disabled itself on my phone. I had experimented with having everyone in one big alert. I removed one really active FT8 user, because I think they may have been the busiest. I ended up breaking triggers into groups based on clubs.
Chasing DX
On the good old 12.5m EFRW, I’m trying 10m FT8 this morning. It’s going nowhere. 15m is much better.
Chasing Hawaii
I have ham-alert for anyone in PA, NJ, or MD spotting the Hawaii DXCC. I’ve been chasing Hawaii around over to 17m and other bands as they pop up, but I didn’t seem them much. It’s the last state I need of the 50.
10m is busy here in mid-afternoon, and I’m reaching south america on 5w. I got Suriname and Cayman Islands on 5w. then 10m maybe died again.
Pitcairn Island DXpedition
I just got the VP6G DXpedetion on 5w on FT8 on 28.0785MHz. That’s my first “OC”! I don’t know why they were shifted, but I saw it on the waterfall on my X6100, so checked it out.
