Greetings Dick, great to work you today, for the first time. 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

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.
