Greetings from the North West I would like to suggest (may have been done in the past) we establish a unofficial DX watering hole on AO-7. Given the very limited time to just find footprint edge to edge contacts. The middle of the passband (145-155), is usually filled with "local" cw/ssb qso's. How does 145.957-145.960 sound as our DX "hot spot"? Mika OH8MBN usually hangs out there, I have talked to him with elevations 2-4 degrees each way. With this "unofficial" DX watering hole we (I) can be challenged to "stretch" the footprint. comments/suggestions?
