Richard<p><a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC47S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC47S</span></a> Arrange for a greyline sked. Keep tabs of the signal reports during the whole window of opportunity and see how the signal booms in and fades out. For digimodes, you can either try a keyboard-to-keyboard mode which monitors the sig.al (Olivia, PSK, JS8) or try multiple exchanges on FT8/FT4.</p><p>From Europe, the greyline lands on different US states on different months.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span></p>
Richard<p><a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC47S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC47S</span></a> Over the air collab games. Add the number from your call to a running total. The last person to post is the person who is hunted, and others have to work him. First come, first serve. If he&#39;s unavailable for more than a week, the previous caller returns in the game.</p><p>Say Fabian starts, DJ5CW. I sked and he sends me the last number (0) plus the one from his call (0+5=5). He posts 5 under the challenge.</p><p>I now have to sked or be hunted. I&#39;ll TX and post (5+3=)8.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span></p>
Richard<p><a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC47S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC47S</span></a> Run a POTA marathon during a solar storm Kp 5/6/7 (easy/med/hard). </p><p>One of the oddest and most enjoyable things I did in March 2024 was running a POTA rover against the UTC clock while the Sun became angrier and angrier. From difficult contacts and decreasing reports, I had to arrange skeds for the last parks to keep it going.</p><p>I even tried an activation in the autumn of 2025, with Kp=8. 20 stations in the log, FT8 only.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span></p>
