Hi All some quite interesting stuff on the Cluster this weekend, its
a pity I didn't look at it until Saturday evening. Anyone work S57A??
Listened on 73k on Friday evening, rather disappointed not to hear some
of the activity. I guess I did detect one station on the waterfall
display
on exactly 71.8 at about 2040z. Probably Mike.
I find that my minimum discernable signal on 73 is about 20dB worse
than 136, which I think is a mixture of aerial problems and several local
smps (at least 3 different units ) in the evening and maybe a bit of the
'extra'
noise Mike and Peter have been reporting. I spent some time on
Saturday investigating so not much listening...except to hear 3 pounding
great QRS signals (G3XTZ, G3YXM, and G3LDO) on about 137.78 after
midnight
for the benefit of the frozen souls from the Amrad gang camped out at
Nags Head again (hope you had a good weekend guys). Dave and Graham were
at it again on Sunday early morning as well. There should be some well
'seasoned' FETs there now!
Sunday 16th
In sporadic bouts of listening I noted the following:-
HB9ASB about 1015z with the chaos aerial working well!
DL1EIE called by DJ9IE who is a very consistent signal now
G6RO,GW4ALG,G8RW,G8PX,GI3PDN, PA0BWL,LX1PD calling CQ EI, DJ5DI, G3OLB,
M0BMU,G3AQC,ON4ZK wkg DK5PT (339 here under DIY QRM)
And many weak lines on the waterfall around 136.5 to 136.9 which look
from their length (90secs to 3 mins) to be CQs unanswered. These signals
would be 'O' in the UK on QRSS fellas, even on that frequency if you are
rock bound.
