Great job on 160 as always by this group! QSB in and out of the noise floor made it very difficult but Dietmar DL3DXX is always very patient and persistent. He knows when to be on the band and how to operate under very difficult conditions. I do not believe there is a better 160 operator anywhere under such conditions! You can also be sure that he will sort out the guys attempting to make imaginary QSOs. "A few tried a "blind QSO" but we don't accept such games. " Congratulations on a job well done, especially to Europe on 160! 73, Bill W4ZV

Tolle DXpedition, tolle Betriebstechnik und manchmal auch tolle Signale wie heute auf 30m! Habt aber bitte Verständnis mit uns schwachen Stationen, gerade auf 80/40m sind Eure Signale sehr QSB abhängig und viele "Neider" machen Eure Anruffrequenz zum Spielball ihrer Krankheiten. Ich habe stundenlang auf 80m gerufen (100W, FD4), vielleicht habe ich ja noch heute abend oder morgen Glück. Kommt gut wieder nach Hause und Danke !!!! 73 Ralf, DL3EA
From: Lanny - W1OO - Mar 10, 2006

Hello to you all at Vanuatu. After hearing you guys several times on 30m without any luck in getting a qso, i just wanted to let you know that the qrg between 10107-10114 is pretty useless up here in the N-EU, due to some heavy qrm (S9) from some kind of comercial Transmitter. I wish your Dxpedition the best of luck and hope to work you before it is too late. Best 73 from N-Denmark at Minus 5 deg. and still snow on the ground. Hi

(Correction) Please QRV on high bands, too tomorrow during the daytime on your Saturday, March 11 (Sat.) A lot of salaried men hams can ONLY QRV during the weekend, and many of them, including myself, can build only short antennas (for high bands)like 15m, and very rare 12m bands because many JA hams live in small houses or apartment houses.

Thank you again for more QSOs (so far on three bands). You wrote that you are not operating during the daytime. I think you focus on 160m and low bands, therefore, you need some rest during the daytime, but please operate a bit on higher bands, especially a band on which we have a rarer chance to make a QSO with YJ like 12m. I appreciate your consideration in advance.

On March 4 I heard you answering me twice, but QSB took you away so never heard CFM. Finally at 1736 UTC when I tried again, the signal kept up so I even copied the 73s.

In 15 min i turned on the radio and heard YJ on 1823,5, he came back with first call at 16.44 gmt. I heard YJ for abt 20 min, with the best signal as S7 on meter. The pile up was fluid.

Would you consider operating PSK31? There was some minor PSK31 activity in year 2000 by YJ0PD but never at a good time for EU. Say 17 or 20m at 11 UTC?

Excellent DX-pedition! Last night did confirm that with good band conditions, right timing, good operators and good gear it is possible also from here in north to have 160m Qs to Southern Pacific. Opening was quite short and limited in area to Southern and Eastern Finland and Baltic countries. Signal from YJ was s6 at best at sunrise time. Long QSB was there at the beginning and end of opening. Operating also on 80m and other bands has been perfect. Best Regards to the Team! Ilmo, OH2BO

Thanks for your great effort on the low bands. It is strange that you aren\'t getting propagation on 20 & 17, especially to the west coast NA. For comparison, in the past two weeks I have worked ZK1, ZL, 3D2, T8, and the FO/HA9 gang many times on 17 & 20, CW & RTTY. The time frame is 0000 - 0130 UTC.

Thanks for the QSO on 80m. It would be nice to have a chance at a 160m QSO on the weekend. Sunrise in central Texas is around 1300z. If you get chance please check 160m between 1200- 1300z. I leave for work before sunrise here, so the weekend is the best chance. 73, Mike AD5A

condx still very very poor.. RST 519 around noon on 30 mt while working JA. Nothing -ZERO-ZERO-ZERO on 14210 a litle bit later. 559 on 7012 for several hours. On 80, 3503 isn\'t a clear freq. here, but you were coming up till 559 at 1820, when you worked a 9A5 stn, then you announce QSY to 1823.5. KC MY FINGER and wish me the better for 160..hi...hi.

Hello all boys, thanks for your operation and afford to be on LB. (I know well as T30R,T32RD,T33RD etc..what is the matter).Nevertheless 160m seems to me damned. I am following you every opening window and can hear you just noise above for few minutes only. I trust into my LB fittings ( Beverage 480m long your direction + another in phase what else more one could use ) and no chance al all. You are perfect LB operators so not lose our courage and let us to be there every incidental opening. Good luck and take care. 73 Jarda

Excellent operating on Topband Dietmar! Tks QSO on 27 Feb @ 1153Z, some 13 minutes past local SR...you peaked at 559. Prior to that time, I couldn\'t even detect the weakest signal from you...interesting! Enjoy your stay & have a safe return to EU. 73/AWDH, Ed K3JJG

Überraschung gelungen. 80m Signal bei mir im schnitt 1-2 Stufen lauter als ZL6QH. T80X ist noch stärker hört aber nicht so gut. Hoffe noch auf "RTTY new one" wobei mir 30m zwischen 14:30-17:30UT besser von der zuverlässigkeit geeignet scheint als 20m! Alles gute und kommt gut heim! Volker

From: Jose - CT1EEB - Mar 2, 2006
Excellent operating practices and good signal, you guys are really an example to be followed. This morning you were 599+ in 30m. RTTY and I hope you can work some 40m. CW at around 07:00 UTC as well (long-path should be good). At 17:00UTC 7 Mhz are always too noisy and signals weaker, by the way the frequencies you have been using 7001 and 7024.5 have a continous carrier of S9 making reception very hard, maybe you could consider gettin a bit up to 7026.5 or so. Keep up the good operation and thank you ever so much, 73 Jose CT1EEB
From: Tur - YL2SM - Mar 2, 2006
I heard you on 1823,5 today at 16.00 GMT with not strong but readable signal. I will keep listening at 16.00 and during Your SR. May be we will be lucky one day. 73! Good luck.

Hello Mar&gang, would suggest to try 160m during our GREY-LINE from 16.00 GMT. Seems the best opening so far was on 27th feb., when reports from UA3/4 were up to S7 and you moved to 80m just b4 our greyline. TKS for ur effort and GL 73\'s Miro

Hallo Leute, vorab Danke für die tolle DXped. Meine Beobachtungen derzeit. Gute Signale auf 80 und 40m, kannleider derzeit nur hören, aber ich konnte Euch fast jeden Tag um ca. 15-17 UTC lesen. 30m ebenfalls ufb.20m waren die Signale hier zwischen 14-16 UTC immer gut, leider lässt das QRL erst Beobachtungen am Nochmittag zu, obwohl ihr häufig in RTTY vormittags auf 20m gespottet werdet würde ich mir natürlich etwas mehr RTTY auf 20m in den Nachmittagstunden (wegene QRL!)also ca. 14-16 UTC wünschen. Habe euch vorhin mit 579 auf 20m gehört dann habt ihr aber leider qsy auf 30m gemacht. vy 73 Bernd
From: Joe - DK5WL - http://www.160m.de - Mar 2, 2006
With your excellent operating technique I just needed a few minutes calling on 80m to get into the log despite my small antenna set up (18m long dx-wire inv L with 16 radials)- Many thanks for a new one on 80m! 40m seems to be much more difficult, best signal between 1600z and 1630z, but still weak on my vertical, many many station calling, still no QSO here... I listened on 21280 this morning for 1 hour, no signal at all. It looks like that propagation ended somewhere in the middle of Germany (similar situation with 3Y0X on 12m, but here I was in the preferred part of Germany, hi). But we still have a few days to go! Enjoy the pile-ups 73 Joe DK5WL

asked the 80 meter op this am around 1155 utc if he could qsy to 160 he said he didnt think there were condx but he did qsy heard him here in Pennsylvania but very weak so i suppose he was correct about condx so i want to thank him for his response to my request (very nice) still hope to be able to work you guys east coast sunrise is 1140 utc FYI keep up the great work i know tropical condition are toygh on the low bands best regards Sam

Thanks for nice QSO on 160 meters at Marth 1. Your signales was very strog during 1h.30min. before and past my sunset.I heard many Yours QSO with USA,Ja and UA3.Your RST was 559 to 589 in RA3.Exsellent signal.Many thanks and 73. de Serge RA3DOX.
Hi Mar & company. Yesterday I tried to copy you on 160m but no signal from your side. Sometimes I heard some beeps but not for real QSO. I use 240m bevs direct to YJ an still awaiting for better openings. Condx are too bad on 160m. On 80m you produce horrible signal S7-9 amazing. The best window for Central EU is between 16:30-18:30. Now if you have simultaneous 80&160 should be better for some openings. I noticed that you change your TX freq. It is good idea when nobody calling you, cause you have stable good signal here on 80m and probably your freq is QRM. Good Luck and CU on TOP. Lubo

From: Uwe Grünberg - DL9GOA - Mar 2, 2006
Hallo Dietmar & Crew! Kurzer 160m-Empfangsrapport: An der Beverage bisher "im hohen Norden" an allen Tagen vor 18:40z absolut nichts zu hören. Danach wird Eure Aussendung wahrnehmbar, aber nicht lesbar. Zwischen 18:45 und 18:55z steigt das Signal dann soweit an, dass einzelne Teile aufzunehmen sind (aber meist nicht das, was man hören will :-). Habe einmal gerufen, als ich Euer Call eindeutig lesen konnte. Es waren zu diesem Zeitpunkt keine weiteren Anrufer da. Bei der (vermeintlichen) Antwort brach das Signal dann aber wieder weg. Hoffe, die Condx werden besser. Das 80m Signal ist großartig! Viele Grüße und viel Spaß weiterhin. 73! Uwe.

In spite of very poor condx, this morning you a gud sig on 30 mt RTTY. I will try on 80 and 160 mt, but at your sunrise via SP it's no easy because of the european wall, so let me try via long path, we should have a narrow window btwn 0630-0730 gmt. KCYF. Congrats for Dietmar and foreverybody
From: Mark - ON4WW - Mar 2, 2006
Excellent operation. There seems to be a peak on 80m around 1730-1745z, which is just after our sunset. OH2BU observed the same phenomenon on 160m. Hopefully you can get the second 80m antenna up, and activate 80/160 simultaneously. Pse reconsider your intention to fool 'blind-callers'. If you'll start shifting your RX- frequency, just to see if we can follow you around and hear you, that makes no sense (deep qsb and extremely weak signals!) and precious time will be lost. Stay put, please ! We initially depend on DXCluster spots to know if you're there, and then we can start listening and hoping for an opening. If we get an opening, it will be very short. Three days ago we heard u for 10 seconds around 1808z, then the opening was gone. Again, PLEASE do not change your announced RX-frequency, it is hard enough as it is. Also, 'blind callers', are sometimes stations who briefly copy you, before you disappear in deep qsb. You can't blame them for calling you. Of course, I agree, you will always find the 'professional blind callers' on your path... Thanks for a great effort, our hopes are set on you guys !! Tnx Ben for the website ! 73 - Mark.

From: Jari - OH2BU - Mar 2, 2006
Yesterday you were quite loud on 1823,5 kHz, between 15:20 to 15:45 UTC. Heard the QSO with UT3MD and calling CQ many times. Quite a few OH calling. The signal had a long QSB, from a 229 to a real 559. Loudest signal so far on 160 m, much much stronger than the signal at YJ SR. The QSY to 80m was just at our SS 15:45 UTC, when the signal was still a 559 here. The wish is, of course, that you could try the 160 m on afternoons around that time, 15:30 to 16.00 UTC. Tnx!
From: Steve - HA0DU - Mar 2, 2006
Congratulations on your 80 m signal! 579-599 most of the time. I keep trying to hear you on 160, have to repair 45 degree Beverage. Can you try 160 between 1610-1630 UTC? 73 Steve
