Hi All,
Walter/2LF and Guenter/8CY startet the activity already yesterday
(Friday) evening and did work G3YXM, G4GVC and G3KEV* Walter said
this morning all three were very strong!
This morning they were transmitting around 136,7 khz and their signal
is very strong here (distance 110 km): 599!
The site they are transmitting from is called "Fuchskaute" which is
the highest mountain (658 m above sealevel) in the "WESTERWALD*
There is a nice small hotel on top which has very acceptable rates (rates
for radio-amateurs!)*
They are using a 30 m high triple top T-antenna which Walter has built
especially for this activity and it seems to work very well*
Their signal also has a small chirp which might be useful to identify
it* The VFO had a small drift as well*
They, however, reported strong QRM from other commercial LF-stations -
whatever this means (Luxembourg-effect, frontend overload, or the intermods
from Mainflingen)*
I certainly hope that many of you have the oportunity to work these
fellows even though DA0LF(DJ8WL) was not able to participate this time*
But we already started talking about the next one*
Pse QSL to the operators*
73, Peter (DJ8WL/DA0LF)
