Dear all,
propagation conditions seemed to be very good this weekend when I listened into
the band around midday.
QTH: JN68GN, 120 km ENE of Munich.
24. April 1999:
09.53 UTC heard DF9SD testing (vvv de) RST 439
09.55 UTC heard DJ7RD calling cq RST 439
10.03 UTC heard G3YXM RST 439 in QSO with G3XTZ RST 339, signing off at 10.09.
12.04 UTC more QRN than in the morning, DF9SD still testing RST 439
25. April 1999:
09.20 UTC heard DF2PY RST 569 with cq
09.21/22 UTC heard DJ2EY RST 559 in QSO with DF7RD RST 559
09.28 heard IK5PZV RST 549 with cq
09.32 UTC heard DF9SD RST 439 testing (vvv de)
09.33 UTC heard DJ2EY calling IZ5PZV
09.35 UTC heard DJ2EY in QSO with HB9DCE RST 549
10.06 - 10.20 UTC: HAD MY FIRST LF QSO, with DJ2EY (QTH Gauting near Munich,
name Rudi) and got RST 549 using my TBA810S PA with 3 watts output at 15 Volts
(previously employed for antenna measurements only; now I am looking for more
powerful Audio ICs). Rudi is listening succesfully on LF using a SIEMENS E410
receiver, designed around 1969, three ganged rf circuits and two rf amps (40673)
ahead of the mixer (also 40673). His TX PWR abt 20 watts to an inverted L, but
still rather high ground loss, 140 ohms.
10.25 UTC I5MXX RST 439 is calling DF2PY repeatedly, but DF2PY had problems to
copy him.
15.30 UTC DF9SD still testing RST 439.
Next weekend QRL, sri.
