As usual, I will be operating from Pembrokeshire in south-west
Wales from time to time over the Easter week.
There is no formal schedule of operation but I will make every effort
to be active on the morning of Saturday the 10th. I expect to put
out a signal before then, possibly Easter Sunday or Monday.
The rig will be the home station running about 300W, VFO
controlled. Back-up Tx will be a Ropex FIRST, crystal controlled on
136.5kHz. I am taking two 10m masts and hope to be able to
stack them and/or use a cliff as a support.
I can transmit QRSs with a 4s dot period but can only receive by
ear (QRQ please!).
Some activity will be on the 73kHz band, especially on the 10th (I
will try to transmit on 73 at 1000UTC). Preferred frequency is
71.90kHz and I will definitely transmit using QRSs as well as
conventional speed CW. I note that the first Tuesday is the 6th so
possible that Rugby will be off on Monday evening. Any reports on
this band would be appreciated.
I will not have e-mail after the 1st, but you can leave a message on
my mobile phone +44 (0)589 986472.
I return home on the 11th but it will take a few days to get back on
the air again.
Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT)
