As per the subject! At Jack’s request, I am activating a couple of summits on 17m and 20m during the day tomorrow our time and hopefully I can work a bunch of NA chasers on 17m into VK4. This should be unique summits and likely a unique association. Alerts are posted, third summit is tentative.

Cheers,

I’ll listen for you Andrew on your first summit - be sure to turn up the power, mic gain, and compression!

Sorry Andrew, nothing heard here in NY on 17M. Listening with a 3-el SteppIR up 20M.

Andrew, 17m was poor today (A=7, K=1) and ZL6B on the NCDXF Beacon was way down to a 559 whereas ZL6B was 599 here the previous two days and seemed to peak at approx 0300 UTC. Hopefully you will be able to hit that time at a later date. Thanks for your 17m efforts!

Thanks for listening. Conditions were bad here, although I did manage to qualify the second summit on 17m with VKs. Some signals were varying by five or six S points with QSB. All up a fun day. Blog report to follow.

Cheers,
