I was able to copy 5W1SA (Samoa) with -11 to -15 levels on regular FT8 multiple times on a number of bands during the last half of K8R's operation but never once decoded K8R on SuperFox, even at times when they were on the same band, at the same time, as 5W1SA.
Prior to the N5J DXpedition to Jarvis Island (where SuperFox will be the dominant mode) starting 5 August, a "SuperFox test session" is likely to be held. One was scheduled for two days ago but had to be cancelled.
Hopefully, a reschedule is in the works.

I am really puzzled, running a g5rv, 40 watts from FN 21 and have worked them on 17 and 20 without a hint of a problem. My gut feeling is that propagation is what is causing most of the difficulty.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right, and you probably are - it just mystified me that I was able to copy (decode) 5W1SA and not K8R.
