Yes, no antenna for 15m at the moment. I am working on it ....
I have been on 14.073 at 2200Z. Have made 1 contact with Ted Williams,
WA0EIR, the author of twpsk. Signals were 60% copy, very noisy but
psk again showed it is a great mode.
We should work out some kind of shortwave schedule. I was thinking of
a 15 minute time window, one frequency for the moment (14.073 +/- QRM) and
3 different times to allow USA-Europe, USA-VK and VK-Europe contacts.
Saturday (once a week) would be a good day I guess.
Propagation charts here show that 2200Z is good for USA to Europe,
0800Z for VK to Europe. Don't know about USA-VK times, any suggestions?
We might start thinking about a 'worked debian-hams' award..... hi
