If you want to meet somewhere for a RTTY QSO we could confirm that your setup is (or isn't) OK. One less variable when the RTTY pileup starts again later today.

DM780 has for input, dax audo 1 with options for 2-8. For transmit there is kust a dax audio TX. I am guessing that means my input needs to be dax audio 2 and for the transmit that would map to the sole PTT cat device, which, in this case would need to b? I am not sure as I don't do digital that much, esp where I am mostly on Linux.

It happens the same to me on different bands, but exceptional is the 40m contact. I got it using the bare 6300 100 watt and a homebrew N6BT vertical dipole. Really a great performance both for antenna and rig!

I did look at the clublog spots for it and saw NO US calls at ,least as of an hour or so ago. I have a 250' 30 deg upslope driveway that the plow guy didn't do so I had to finish it off for the last 90min.

generator. Cheered up by an LOTW qsl from Palmyra (k5p) and got in
the logs of both VP8s on 160 using an inverted "L" in a tall tree. Not
doing much more than listening to conserve fuel. They say we should
be restored by midnight.

I got VP8STI on 40M and VP8SGI on both 80M and 40M , all CW. For me it was all a matter of propagation as this path is a very rough path for my QTH. Most times I listened he was like 1-2 dB out of the noise except a couple nights he was an S unit out of the noise. Even though there was a pretty prodigious pileup it was easy to analyse the pileup using the 6500 and get him in the log one I commenced to calling. I got K5P on 40M as well, 3 ATNO's, so it's been a good DX month.

The ET7L Ukrainain crew has another month or so there in Ethiopia and will be working the Lowbands 80/160 mostly their weekends (Fri/Sat evenings/nights our time) or as they have time... is what they QSPed to me on the Lowband Chat channel.
As far as I know, I was the first NA station to work each of the VP8 stations on 160. Apparently we had the spotlight propagation to that area on 160 meters. 80M was nearly as good propagation each and every day. The high Bands were my nemesis as I have my own all vertical Remote station and verticals do not do well for DXing on the higher Bands. 40 meters and down...well that's another story :)
Now don't pile on..I said vertical on HF frequencies were not competitive with the stations with yagis... I know lots of DX can be worked with a vertical. Just not busting too many rare Country pileups....
