DUMPLING ROCKS USA 1321 AND HISTORIC 247 (OUR 61ST AND 62ND ACTIVATIONS)

AUG 4, 2007

USA 1321 should be a new one for many of the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society Members.

Callsign used is W1AA. Don, N1DT works CW; Whitey, K1VV does phone. Operation starts about 7:00 AM (1100 UTC) and ends about 2:00 PM (1800 UTC).

They started on 75 phone about 3996 ± 5 - band conditions were very poor - only worked five QSOs on 75 phone. Went to 40 phone around 7234.0 ±. Conditions were no better - almost every QSO was a struggle through the static and noise. At 1247 UTC, they went to 20 phone around 14270. The band still had a high static level. VA2ASS/W1, on ground wave, was on Cape Cod running 5 watts.

Stats: 22 States and 4 DX Stations: France, European Russia, Virgin Islands, and Ukraine.

23 ARLHS members.
