I picked up K2B on 40 phone from John at 10 am and ran pretty steadily until noon. Spotted myself twice. Made 312 contacts (one is a duplicate), for a rate of 156 an hour.
Got called by WM3PEN with an old friend at the mic.

Just worked 20m sideband for 30?minutes. Had a rate of 99 qsos in 30 mins. The 12-1 slot is now open from 1230-1?

I had a thought - If everyone could update their slots with the frequency, once established, it would make it easier for the next shift to find you - especially on the bands where the possibility of hearing some else in VA would be almost impossible! ?And easier to spot you on QRZ
Just a thought . . ..?

Yes, I was trying to work DX. At first it was about half US and half DX, even though the beam was pointed at Europe. I saw the other K2B on 20 called out and felt a little awkward being on the same band! However, after about 10 minutes, I started asking DX
in the call and refused to answer any stateside and had a good time. Not as fast as 40 has been but 92 contacts in an hour and 20 minutes, almost all of them DX. Seemed to have a pipeline to 9H1 and Milan, Italy!? Several thanked me for operating for DX as
they have been searching for the 13 colonies special event. I apologize sincerely if I stepped on anyone's toes, but I may try to work more 20 ssb DX

Thanks Carl.
Yeah I was surprised to see folks spotting K2B on another frequency. ?I assumed it was a K2B op doing DX, but then I started to see lots of spots on dxsummit. ?Worked out fine for me, lots of traffic, but I will suggest to the boss that we somehow
integrate DX into this. ?My last contact on 1600 - 1700 spot, was HB.....

Thanks?for the response David. I will stand down on trying DX unless there is no one signed up for the slot. I did get an email from the "boss" encouraging me to try doing some DX. I think that is why there is an added line for 20 DX. I have 2 hours on 40 meters
tomorrow and Friday, but I see some empty slots on 20 ssb. I will try to do DX again if they are still open. i appreciate your understanding. Frankly I was surprised at how many US stations tried to work me when the beam was pointed to Europe. Have not had
that experience before, but then, I am either looking for DX or the US and not both.
