Anybody interested in messing around with 1296.100  tomorrow, 08:45 AM before I go to church.  IC-9700 barefoot into a 40 element loop yagi.  Unclear as to mode.  Q65-30B, maybe SSB?  FT8?  I can't tell what the folks on the wet side run on 1296.100.  The web page says SSB but the reporting sounds like they are using a digital mode.

Anyway. looper is pointed south/southwest toward Spokane.

Sunday 9am is SSB/CW. 

 

At 9:15 some of us move to 1296.174 FT8.  With coordination other modes like Q65 can be done.

 

Myself, I am 32KW ERP + LNA about 67mi north of Mt Rainier where my antenna is pointed, it cannot rotate.  In theory it could get a bounce to you if you can see Mt. Rainier also.
