This time, it's definite. I am in the 4W8X log.
I set HamAlert for them and it was chirping all day. The problem was that all the spots were coming from Europe.
That's when I decided to go to the Reverse Beacon Network and set it up to show the spots for 4W8X. When the map showed the station was being heard in the US, that's when I started listening. The cool thing about RBN is that the lines from originating station to spotter are now color coded, so you can easily see on which band your quarry is being heard.
All the lines to the US indicated 30 Meters and that's where I heard them. Still had to use the KX3's APF feature to make them easily audible, but whatever it takes, right?
Today's a big day for CQ WW DX and the K Index is up at 4, and the Geomagnetic Field is active. Not the best solar conditions that one would hope for.
In any case, the terrestrial weather here today is decent. Cold, but sunny so the outside Christmas decorations will probably go up today. That will take up a good chunk of the afternoon.
