Hey Bo, there is a Contest Message board and a CHAT option at https://groups.io/g/070ClubContests site. So if you get subscribed that is a great place for a CHAT. Email only gets looked at once and a while for most of us.

I'm 'new' at this, well just returning after some FT8 diversion, and wonder if any scheduled nets are held? I'll chek the web site when this is over. -- Bill Smith, N3XL

Best place to find stations is to use www.hamspots.net If you're not registered you will have to make up an account Then once accepted click on Digital Modes Click on PSK 3 Bands choose what bands you want save each band you want to follow Chris N9JCA 73

Clean Exchange format
The call signs and exchanges should not have any characters before or after them!
With fldigi a simple click logs it all with no typing if the info is in the clear. Typing needed if not. 73, Bo W4GHV

I noted that this is a 'chatty' contest, not rapid fire like RTTY. I had fun on the phone with my daughter in SLC us working the band from both directions, I'm in NC I'll be around most of the time. 73, Bo W4GHV https://www.qrz.com/db/W4GHV

Re: TDW Propagation

I had really good luck with bonus stations. Are bonus station contacts counted once or do you get credit for them on different bands?

TRIPLE ROGER on what you said Jim! Lots of activity already this morning. N9AVY - Bonus station is on 40m and VA3TPS - Bonus staion is on 20m as well as lot of members on both bands. Get on and get them.
Heavy t-storms in the forecast starting about noon until late evening. I may have to be off air for an extended period again today. Good luck to all! Remember....use it or loose it! -- Rick - N7WE 070 - #1602

TDW Propagation
From the appearance of my waterfall last evening, the tale of poor propagation is a myth. There were several traces on 20, and 40 was almost wall to wall with traces. It appears that on day to day operation, the lack of propagation is caused by lack of operation. It was great to contact old friends, and some new ones. Lots of strong signals here, but, I was only using 20 watts, and was either not heard by some stations, or, was overpowered by others when trying to get a contact. Two more days and I will be there off and on during the day due to commitments. We MUST use our portion of the band plan or it will be overtaken
by other modes, as bandwidth is at a premium. Those infamous FT8
operators are already trying to zoom down like a hawk after a
rabbit on 20 and 40 meters. They have already completely taken
over 17 meters forcing us to drop to 18.097 to get around their
operating. PSK is a great mode, we have a lot of fun using it, and can converse with old and new friends at length. I know everyone cannot operate every day, but, get on the bands as often as you can, use the bandwidth, and it will remain in PSK operators hands. Jim K5SP -- Jim, K5SP #483 Member Services Director
