<Nevertheless, I have worked Kanti a couple of times on each of 30, 40 and 80M. The 30M QSOs took place generally around his SR and early evening here, and I have heard him many times in that time frame on that band. I use a two element quad and either 100 or 200W output on that band, and his reports of my signal, 559, are consistent with those conditions. When I worked him on 80M, I began a correspondence with him. His response to that initial e-mail was "Yes i got you clearly and you were overriding QSB." That sure sounds like he was copying me directly. Further, for some reason when I had QSLed him directly, I had omitted our 80M QSO and had to request a second QSL from him via e-mail. In that exchange there was not the slightest hint of his using remote RX. Subsequently, because he knew I had an Expert 2K amp here, we had several detailed e-mail exchanges to discuss the set-up of his newly acquired 1.3K amp. Again, there was absolutely no hint of using remote RX. It appears that he does use remote RX at times, but a review of the times and signal reports for all our QSOs strongly support direct, long haul reception. Again, I apologize for any ambiguity in my previous post. 73, Joe K2XX ## What about 160M ? Did you work VU2GSM on 160m, or only 80-40-30 ? That was steves point. Kanti is in downtown bangalore with high noise on 160m. That would be extremely difficult for Kanti to hear on 160m. Has anybody on the west coast worked Kanti..on 160M ?
