Apparently no voice-powered transatlantic joy yet, but we all know it is just a matter of time. And I think this will be something completely new in radio history! Great try guys! Keep at it!
From W1REX last night:
We started about 8:45 am this morning, because AA1TJ was too excited to wait any longer! He shouted into his #2 can for a couple of hours until I thought he was going to burst a vessel....and I'm not talking about one of the many passing by out on the ocean. We thought that we had a 2-way QSO a couple of times but the returns were simple lost in the noise. Michael ran out of steam....or breath...and none of us old-timers could cut the mustard..or soup...or whatever was in the can.
Seab, AA1MY, launched the kite last night prepping for an attempt at a 160m record. He intended to operate on 1.811 and cross 'the pond' with a minuscule signal but the bridle broke on the kite and it sailed away.... It could be on the other side of the pond for all we know, as it was never seen again. He launched a back-up kit tonight and had it up there into the lower stratus-sphere but needed just a little more height as there was still some antenna wire on the ground...but alas, the wind came to an abrupt stop and the flying kite came to an abrupt just a short time later.
So to sum up todays results: ZILCH!
We want to thank EVERYBODY who kept an ear out for us today and hope you have the time and patience to try it again tomorrow morning!!
TOMORROW'S ITINERARY:
We have more wire up on 20m and will attempt another across the pond QSO starting at 8:00AM local time or 1300 Zulu. Mike has to pick up his wife at the airport in NH so the attempt will terminate long about 9:30AM local time. So we have another 90 minutes to try for the record and YOU have another 90 minutes to be a part of it. Listen in at 14.055 MHz starting at 1300 hours. Put your good ears on and listen sharp... Hope you hear us AND we hope to hear you hearing us...
Seab will take another stab at the 160m record (MAINE weather permitting) probably around 700AM local time 1200 Zulu. He is heartbroken that his dead-cert kit took a powder and dashed his dream. Little back-up kite and a sightly altered antenna farm hopefully will come through for him. Give a listen over there on the other side of the Atlantic.
