I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
I put one of those up for a local ham. NEVER AGAIN! What an over weight behemoth! Not to mention being a real erector set. The 4 el. version is >100 pounds.

Well, I almost worked him...
He's on 30 right now (10.103.9 listening up), called him, and he started to come back to me... definitely to W3W OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
One of the jammers picked that moment to zero beat him with a long, strong, wide carrier. Great.
Well, I took a chance and answered him anyway. He started to acknowledge, but the tuner came back, along with about 4 stations sending CW on top of him. One pair were real cute... one was sending UP, ASS, FU, and so forth... the other was answering "UP 599, ASS 599..." you get the idea.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

this is why we need Element 1 restored. it would keep these clowns off the bands since they would have to know Morse code. wait, this was CW. hrm.
Element 1 won't be restored. The FCC has no interest in doing so. Unfortunately. But that's another story for another thread & another time.
I had an email from W3WH last night, asking me if I'd gotten through... he'd heard the 7O op call me back. So there's a smidgen of hope that it's in the log...

Last night EVERYONE ELSE here in SoCal worked them on 20SSB. EVERYONE ELSE but ME that is. I STILL couldn't hear him.
Guys with dipoles or hamsticks heard him 5x9. NOT A PEEP for me!
SO I think someone has put a GIANT RF CHOKE on my property. I am losing 60-100dB of signal. I tried multiple antennas and various radios. MAYBE the mountaintop is made of IRON and that is SEVERELY ANTENUATIONG my RX and TX Signals. Something is wrong, and I can't figure it out. I have only 3 more shots and the gambit is UP! Tonight, Friday and all day Saturday. Then, I am on my way to Dayton. I am PRAYING someone along the way will allow me to stop by their house and use their rig for a few MINUTES to make a contact. They are 59+ to EVERYWHERE ELSE in the WORLD but CREST, where they a ZIP!!!! I can't hear the 6O0CW either. But I DID work a VP9 last night. And the night before I worked a T88TF out in Palau. So It kinda works, like I am using a CANTENNA for an antenna.
I havent heard them in days...i havent even heard any pileups for them. Last time i did hear them, it wasnt loud, but the pileup was snarling. Im getting a little nervous that i may miss this operation completely. The best signals i heard from them were last week on 15 and 17, about 579 peak. No way i was breaking that wall, however. The bands are all but dead here at the moment. Absolutely terrible conditions this cycle, im working stuff, but its been a dud so far.
Kind of a bummer. Theres still 6 days left, hopefully i can catch them in the open before the masses and lids decend on them.
The louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.
so the bands will continue to fall into the hands of the great unwashed and jamming and poor operating will continue unabated because of it. good thing we can retreat to the CW portions which will be immune to such problems.
