[LCC] In the 3Y0J Log

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Looks like they will QRT 0300Z on 2/14. They are currently on 17M FT8 LP but only a few decodes.

164730 -15  0.4  372 ~  9A2JK RR73; K7EDX <3Y0J> -06

By the way, my 30M CW QSO was made using a 40 meter inverted vee with the ends wrapped back up onto the wire to resonate somewhere near the 30 meter band but not good enough SWR so I have to use my old Heathkit tuner. Amazing it works at all.

Congrats Marsh. My 30M CW is in the log but it was one of those near ESP contacts that when you go back and think about it, you ask yourself "Did I really hear that right?"

On my contact, I heard someone working them on a frequency, so I just stayed there. A few minutes later I "thought" I heard my call, gave them a report then "thought" I heard "TU DON". It was so surreal like it really didn't happen. Because I have made many of these type of CW QSOs in the past 50 years, I "felt" it was good.

Wish I would have gotten them on 17M but wasn't at the radio when they were coming in. Like others, thought there would be more time. They are still being spotted here and there but I have to think they are QRT by now. Maybe not.
