Part of webmaster's adventure in Site News
I finally have worked an Australian station from the current QTH. I finally have 6 continents worked. I feel very successful. There was a number of JA stations starting to bleed through QSOs in progress as the band opened up on Saturday afternoon. Most of them were not coming in very well. I was shocked when this VK7 station had been heard with this great signal. It was far superior to the JA signals. I worked VK7ZE on phone around 14.213. After I worked him he was spotted on the cluster. I heard tons of 1 stations that were very anxious to work him. Lots of 1 stations started calling him.
I heard KA1BQ call some of the several stations that I was working. I tried to pull him up on 67 to tell him about 14.213. I was not able to reach him.
I heard a bunch of Alaskan stations. The best out of the bunch had been KL7RA. KL7RA had a great signal, but I never heard him work any 1land stations. I tried calling him. I never broke the pile-up.
LOTW has appeared to be overloaded. I tried sending last night’s log to the ARRL. I did not receive any return confirmations. So it must be overtaxed.
