It is good that you chaps in the USA are having a whale of a time
working T32C (and it is just a stone's throw from VK land...). But it
is a different kettle of fish from northern Europe where the path
passes straight through the auroral circle (both short and long path).
I have been trying very hard in the past few days to even hear them and
apart from a brief showing just above noise on Saturday I have heard
absolutely zilch.
The chaps with beams have been working them, all bands, but I have no
information about anybody with low wire antennas doing so yet.
Yesterday evening I heard they were on 10m CW and listened - not a
trace of them, but I did QSO VE7SV at good signals. Similarly
everywhere else I have listened, not just weak but simply not there.
QRP or not, I am obviously not going to work them if I cannot hear
them.
Hoping things improve in the next couple of weeks, and maybe the
auroral circle will decrease in size, and I will have a QSO. But things
certainly don't look good at the moment.
