Re: Japan on 40m
Bob Motyl KK6KMU
Spread across several times zones makes it a little more difficult to get everyone on board. Thanks to Alan KA5VZG for coming up with the schedule and posting it.
I am surprised at the number of operators participating. See you on the waterfall. Bob KK6KMU

Canary Islands on 20M
Chuck M
Had a short exchange with Marco, EA8AQV, from the Canary Islands on 20M. Around 72.3. IOTA #AF-004 Was weak but able to get a qso with my 10 watts. Good luck to all. Hope the band conditions stay good. 73s Chuck KD9DVB

Re: Japan on 40m
Bob: Was surprised to catch Suke. He was strong when I heard you work him, but later caught him further up band and he was weak. As I was completing 24/7 around 2015, I was very sursed at who was on during those wee hours of the morning. Perhaps you guys will start a trend ? Jerry n9avy

Re: 24/7 Endorsement - - Week Three - hour slots 0800z and 0900Z Begins tonight
Good job Bob!
Can you send me info, or a link to "PSKinfo"?
I'm not familiar with a lot of the propagation or tracking sites.
Thanks,
Milt.

Congrats with the updates. I got motivated myself and built a new computer for myself. An eight core AMD processor, 16GB of ram, and video card with four video outputs, four 24 inch monitors and cleaned up my cabling. Now I can run FLDIGI, my logging software, pskinfo and the chat room all at the same time with no delays or computer crashes. Should have done it years ago. Now I have the time.

Interesting being on the far left coast with Bob & Eric and Tom.
Early & coffee for you easterners is late & Melatonin for us. :-)
See everybody later tonight, and during the week.
I've done a lot of work in the shack, rotated radio's, a new 28" flat panel for MixW, and a new 24" flat panel for my ACLog & main frame. Gotta weed out all of the weak components...

24/7 Endorsement - WEEK THREE starts Monday 10/19 for hour slots 0800Z and 0900Z
Bob Motyl KK6KMU
Reminder,
Week three, from Monday 10/19 - Sunday 10/25, starts tonight. This week will cover the 0800Z and 0900Z hour slots. Look at the Chat to see who is active. To work both hours with limited sleep loss, we will concentrate on 0845Z - 0915Z. From 0845-0859 QSO's will fill in the 0800Z slot. From 0900-0915Z the 0900 slot will be taken care of. (a few earlybirds may be on by 0830) Japan, New Zealand and Australia should be open on 40 and 80 meters at that time. No promises. Overt the last two weeks we have had a dozen or so members getting together to fill in some of those late night / early morning hours on the 24/7 Endorsement. Come and join us. See you on the waterfall -- Bob KK6KMU #2484

Solar Forecast
Haven't seen Tamitha doing any space weather in about two weeks so went looking for more places to catch some solar information. Stumbled onto a website called SolarHam. Check it out, looks like it has a link to just about anyplace that has info on solar activity. Lots of sunspots in the past few weeks and SFI looks like it's starting to go up. One can hope. hi hi

JM7OLW is booming in right now on 20 meters.
His IMD is -23 dB.
That roughly equates to about 599+++++++

Roger that Chuck, I am running 40W to my End Fed Random, and PSKReporter has me at +17dB into NY, but the waterfall looks like an Upstate Blizard, and the band sounds like all kinds of popcorn, so no real surprise, I can't see you either.

Our last 24/7 Endorsement meet for week 2 is Sunday Oct 18, 2020 from 06:45 - 07:15 UTC. I will be on at 06:30 UTC for those early birds.
Week 3 will start Monday Oct 19, 2020 from 08:45 - 09:15 UTC. Be aware that New Zealand, Australia and Japan should be open on 40 and 80 meters at that time.
