Working Split Frequency: Trying to Log the CY9C St. Paul Island DXpedition

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Doug, Was working 20m SSB Feb, 2023 and was trying for a contact to Iceland. Finally made the contact and a few QSO's later heard VY2FU on Prince Edward Island. After he made his contact I asked him to QSY up 10. I needed a confirmation for PEI. He agreed and we had a nice QSO for about 5 minutes. I listened for a few minutes more and he was making more contacts. He emailed me the next day saying he had a pileup for the next 45 minutes and had to cut it short since he needed some sleep for work in the morning. I guess others who were listening also needed PEI. Happy Holidays to you and the family and stay safe. 73 WJ3U

That’s some good work, Don. And you got a QSO out of it.

Thanks for another great video. I worked them a bunch of times.

Congratulations! It's a great island to work. I wish I could have logged them but we can’t get them all. Propagation wasn’t in my favor.

Cool video Doug! I’m going to have to get some ssb dx , I have been cw straight for ~ two years and almost forgot about voice operations.

[@n4hnhradio]

CW is my favorite mode, Doug. Easier to work people with lower power. But I also enjoy the challenge of SSB.

[@wendellneal9573]

I was hoping you would get him!

[@n4hnhradio]

Can’t win them all. Propagation wasn’t kind to me.

I hope you all had a Marry Christmas kk4ekk

[@n4hnhradio]

We did. It’s an honor to celebrate the birth of the Christ with family and friends. I hope your Christmas was Merry as well.

THANK YOU FOR NOT calling split operation as duplex! Those who do only show their ignorance and promote it. Happy Solstice and a Merry New Year
