Hello Lowfers,
I tried to answer cq-calls from three different stations during the
weekends
(DF2PY, PA0LQ and OZ1KMR) without success. After a Slow-CW cq call
only a very weak "?" came back, and DF8ZR in Slow-CW did not copy as
well.
So my first though was to follow the famous words of Jodie Foster in the
movie "Contact": We need bigger antennas!
My XYL Andrea (DL3ABC) suggested, that my antenna might be damaged.
And then I saw the encouraging message of Jaap, PA3GUC:
DK8KW 127.691 kHz calling cq. Signal good visible with gram 4.2.6
and jumped up and down! Someone saw my cq-call in PA!
Hopefully the frequency is a typo, otherwise I need to check my VFO.
But Jaap, you have an excellent accuracy to measure the frequency,
my calling frequency was supposed to be 137.690 kHz +/- 1 kHz.
Thank you, Jaap, for the report. All the others, whom I called in vain this
weekend: the 18m fibre-glas mast, that I ordered, is supposed to be
delivered end of June!
Looking forward to work more of you,
best 73
Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
