Hello Group,

PA2NJN ACTIVE AGAIN ON 136.5 KHZ
================================

As from saturday June 5th, Nico / PA2NJN will be qrv again
on the LF band, fixed transmitting freq = 136.5 kHz.
Transmitter is the prototype of the 'First', a D-Class Fet
transmitter, delivering 130 Watts. The transmitting earial
is vertical wire attached to a Kite (a Para-Foile). Formerly
we succeeded to bring out several hundred meters of antenna
wire. This wire is specially made; it's litze with a kevlar
core. It's obvious, that transmitting with the kite-earial
is weather depending (windforce abt 2 to 5 bft and no thunderstorms, hi)

Nico will receive on a active antenna and/or the kite-earial.

This time Nico will  n o t   be qrv from his home qth Eenrum
(JO33FI), but from the Fieldday location called 'Smeerling'
which is in the provence of Groningen, close to the German
border, abt 45 km southeast of Groningen City (JO33AM?).

Nico qrv sked (weather depending) will be as follows ....

sat june  5th, all day
sun june  6th, all day
mon june  7th, as fm 1900 utc
tue june  8th, as fm 1900 utc
wed june  9th, as fm 1900 utc
thu june 10th, as fm 1900 utc
fri june 11th, as fm 1900 utc
sat june 12th, nico's day off (not qrv!)
sun june 13th, all day

Reports are welcome. You can contact Nico either by his Packet adress

pa3njn@pi8awt.#gro.nld.eu

or via me ( or the lf reflector).  The Dx cluster is also attended.

Nico is operating under the so called 'STERRAZA' Group, which
organises several field days a year. The Sterraza Group will
be active the same period on HF, VHF and UHF bands under the
call PI4HSG. So when you meet Nico on HF (CW) you know the Wx
is too bad for the Kite or the wind just fails to blow.
