What a weekend, never heard so many stations (27) in 2 days.
First of all congrats to the GD-boys, they did put a real big signal in the
air. Remarkable was the strong QSB on their signal, especially on saturday
nigh. Because of this QSB (over 20dB) I had the impression they were flying
a kite. Also remarkable was that the QSB seemed to be dependent on the
location, while they were working DK8KW and DL1SAN they were hardly audible
here (439) while they got a good report from the DL's. QSB was very fast to
(at least for 136kHz), when I managed to work GD0MRF I just trew in my call
twice after Dave finished his previous QSO (and I heard him with 579) but
signals dropped within seconds (to 559) and it took me a few minutes to get
the report and 73 through.
On friday they had a real pile-up, up to 7 stations calling at the same time.
