    If you want to chat with more than 1 islander at a time, you'd need to find a band that would work for most. 20 &40 are the only 2 that leap to mind as being feasible.

    Having said that, I'm ready to go on any band, preferable SSB. Ball's in your court.

    Morning meaning what in UTC? I'm generally up at 12:00 UTC.

    Missed you last night on 40 meters JT-9; you were calling "CQ DX". I waited for a couple of cycles and then called you but, you were QSY or QRT.

    Probably QSY. Since I only call "CQ DX" when I'm on 80-10, if no DX responds, I move to another band. I think I went through 20, 30, 40, and 80 without a hint of DX.

    Not sure if you're using JT Alert, but if you are, send me a text message the next time you see me and I'll call you. I never put out a general "CQ" unless I'm on 6m or 160m.
