    VK this morning on 30m...

    Merv, VK4EM, in Springside, Queensland from the East Coast under these condx is pretty good. Had to use an average of sixty watts on PSK31, and my wire is oriented north-to-south, so the path either way is long, long, long.Attachment 3385

    Right along the gray line. Nice catch!

    30m is full of surprises.

    I got turned on to 30m PSK31 by a guy I met on 40m one night. I'd never tried that band at all until he invited me over for a QSO and I'll be damned if it wasn't great. Far less QRN at my QTH and it opens up earlier in the day than 40m too. I just wish more people would use it.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    A lot more people are using the band than used too. It's a funny band. You may not see them at any given moment, but they're there...somebody is there all the time. I personally spent a solid year and a half drumming up business, babysitting the frequencies we were promoting 10 hrs a day, and bearing the scorn and ridicule of those who didn't understand what we were doing.
    No, it's not like the mess at 14.070, and I think it's better off for it.
    I continue encouraging anyone who's interested to spend some real time there, use the tools available through psk reporter and the 30m digital group.
