Your signal was very good , later on the band became noisy , not before I had the pleasure of also working your fellow Dutchman PA0LQ, the qsb on his signal very very noticable, and I only managed to assemble his callsign from his many repeats he sent me, he would fade up and I would get a bit , but we got there, great fun. my address is Finbar O'CONNOR. Malin Head Radio Station, Malin Head, County Donegal Republic of Ireland. I was running a pair of IRFP450 mosfets to a large Tee antenna up at 50 metres, the receiver was a borrowed EDDYSTONE 6200 general coverage one with a 300 hz filter, I had occasional problems from our commercial transmitters breaking through onto the receiver ( they are fed into the 50 metre towers, which are insulated from ground and are base tuned for the maritime band ie. 1644 khz , 1677 khz 2182 khz 2593 khz etc ). The commercial rigs run 1 kw. ssb ( usb). At 1700 utc I replaced the borrowed receiver in its rack, packed my LF station back in its cardboard banana box ( very handy for carrying things around), filled in the LF logbook and headed for home..... Stations worked today..... 1336 to 1344 PA0SE RST 529 ME 559 1430 to 1443 PA0LQ RST 219 ME ? 1554 to 1614 G4GVC RST 569 ME 599 1600 to 1626 G3KEV RST 579 ME 599 Thats it , thanks again 73's Finbar EI0CF -----Original Message----- From: Dick Rollema, PA0SE To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Cc: jhekkert@ichthus.lifenet.nl Date: 12 March 1999 15:48 Subject: LF: First EI-PA Today, Friday March 13, I worked EI0CF at 1339 UTC. It must be the first EI-PA QSO. The RST559 report I gave Finbar was probably more like RST 569. The RST 529 that Fibar gave me clearly demonstrates the advantage of the big aerial he was using. When Finbar sends me his address I will be happy to QSL direct. 73, Dick, PA0SE Dick Rollema V.d. Marckstraat 5 2352 RA Leiderdorp The Netherlands
