Had a sustained rate of 108 per hour this afternoon on 10 meters SSB. And that included short BS sessions and sending them down the band to work the weak guy from Oregon! ( W7VO) 
HA HA.   

It's really humbling to have the pile thank us for our service, when in reality, it's them that need the thanks. Without all the members we would have nothing to do.

Sounds like a challenge to all….

 

We have a lot of points and a lot of goodwill within this group to provide to the amateur community.  I hope everyone contributes at least an hour or two for operating this weekend.

 

Only one ham asked me what VOTA was while operating today.  Fortunately, he was a VK.

 

As far as W1AW/x stations, this week is Hawaii and Georgia.  W1AW/KH6 is everywhere.  W1AW/4 in Georgia, a state literally 20 miles away from me-crickets.  I worked one slow speed CW op but haven’t seen much activity otherwise.

 

Let’s get on the air!

The team at W7VO will be "on the air" using SSB in the General and Technician portions of the bands the entire weekend handing out lots of points for VOTA, while signing WM7A for the CQ WPX RTTY contest.

 

Lets all get out there this weekend and hand out some valuable VOTA points.  We'll certainly all be easier to work than Bovet!  ;-)
