I got a brief email from Barry, W9UCW today. He has been listening some of late but not heard much. No surprise, as there has been a dearth of activity on 75m SSB for months.
I have been sick with a bad chest cold for 3-1/2 weeks and sleeping in, when I can sleep at all. I did manage to work one or two JA stations on 160m FT8 at my sunrise a few days ago.
I will be back at my post, calling and listening on 3.796 in the early mornings as soon as I feel better. 73 all....
