Somebody on 75 meters?

Time: 7:30 PM UK
Is anybody now on 75 meters? QRN + QRM horrendous, but I have weak music coming through. 25322. QRM sounds odd - like somebody practising nonsense morse (ie 7 dots and a dah, thre dahs and two dots, 24 dots and a dah, a dah dot dah and so on with out much break). Picking it up from 78 meters down to about 69M.

Still, whoever it is, I'm trying hard to hear you!

Yes there is. Bogusman is on 3931 - coming in S9+10dB at my QTH although signal fading quite a bit.

By the way, tried to hear you this morning on 6278 between 9 & 9.30am but no signal detected here - only Radio Scirocco on 6280.

Good luck with the tests,

Thankyou! Never heard Bogusman before, another to add to the logs. My first pirate on 75 meters. I only tuned down to listen in on an 80 meter AM net and got bored when they all signed off.

Thanks for trying to hear me - the anttena isn't doing much in the way of propagation. Groundwave report by a friend at 27 miles away. (34333) I threw it up thursday in preperation for this weekend. My 'real' ant has leaky (as in water damaged) Coax feeder and arm. The coax order I placed two weeks ago still hasn't arrived... Maybe next weekend?

we have the same problem, water in the coax. the only store here in town to get coax 50 ohm was closed today.

R.Bogusman closed at 9:40 last night, very good signal in his last hour.
