What station did you work in Guatemala? There's a guy down there in Ciudad de Guatemala who's got a helluva good signal.

I just looked him up, and I think we're talking about the same guy :)

Yep, I just checked my log--I've worked him on 20m PSK31 too. The guy came in like he was right around the corner. Good score, though.

Corey, if you're not already using 30m for psk, I highly recommend it. Emmanuel was a regular on the band for some time, and if you're up very late you'll probably find Rob ZL3RG who makes an easy target with his band specific quad. He's got great ears, and is a lot of fun. Tell him "Julie" sent you. (if you think of it)
Lot's of folks using that band now...not like it used to be.

Yeah, forgot about that band :) Whenever there is a band with weird restrictions always gives me the willies. One reason I stay off 60 meters too. But, 200W PEP, and digital only? I think I can stay safe there :)

The 30m digital group has a great auto-spot page hooked up and lot's of other cool stuff. google it while you're checking out the band.
