Flash mob experiment, right now, 28.050 +/- 5?

Administrator

Hi all,

I’m hearing CW beacons from all over the place on 10 meters right now. (Supposedly some multi-hop activity on 6 meters, too.)

If you’re awake and would like to participate in a 10 meter “flash mob” experiment, please join me on 28.050 +/- 5 kHz. Initially, callsigns ending in A-L listen, M-Z call CQ (myself included).

Keep in mind this is an experiment. No rules :)

73,
Wayne
N6KR

So I guess Wayne / Elecraft can “open the bands?”
Just worked two folks on 28.050.06

I hear a few very weak sigs in there. My main antenna is offline so I’m using a rotatable dipole at 25’. I’ll be on for awhile.

And yes, this is an experiment in “opening the band” :) Anyone should be able to do it. Name your time/place.

Just worked Wayne on 28.050. I am on the coast in Western Washington. Signal
was marginal due to QSB but came up and was easily copyable.

Thanks for the qso.

You guys are COOL. A flash mob on CW to open up an otherwise dead band.
What a Wonderful idea, Wayne.

In reply to this post by Bert Garcia N8NN

I only had a few minutes, and worked 5 stations. N8NN was my first. His
signal was actually only 559 but I gave him 599 before looking at the
meter. My noise level was VERY low this morning so several signals really
jumped out at me. Some were honest S-9 sigs... a real treat.

As near as I could tell at a glance, I was picked up by 6 or 7 skimmers,
from coast to coast, plus J68HZ & PJ2A.

I was running my KPA500 at about 450 watts, but my antenna is just a 30'
Flag Pole vertical, so it was a real treat to work anybody.

I think the key lesson we have learned here is, call CQ much, much more often then just watching spots and listening. If we all just watched spots and listened, the static would be deafening!

Wished I could have been home and on the air for this "experiment"!

I hear lots of E skip lately. But there aren't enough ion clouds in the right places for me to reach you guys!
But I did work an LZ (about 860 miles away) lower in the band with good signals.

Yes, but the point is to have them daily! Since this worked, there will be more :)

Clearly propagation was regional. I only heard two or three call signs,
none complete enough for a contact. All were Midwest stations.

My 100 watts and wire antenna netted no returns, but Reverse Beacon
showed my CQs consistently strong toward the East Coast.

What power and antenna were you running?
