Hello all, I was rather busy on Saturday so my own log is a bit sparse.
There has been a funny on the Cluster where it is posting each spot twice
(sometimes!). The result of this is that some of the early postings from
Saturday and before 'fell off the end' of the list.
I heard Steve GW4ALG work Ali DF2BC/P, and I couldn't believe the
strength
Ali was comming in at. He is certainly the strongest station out of
Germany
I have heard. He certainly stirred up the activity, it sounded like one
of
the busiest weekends for some time.
I have a note of Mike G3XDV working DF5DI at 0633Z but I forgot to note
whether it was QRS or hand speed cw. I reckon Mike has been sprinkling
Miracle
Grow on is aerial again! (and splashed some on the PA!)
He was the strongest I have heard him, and has now overtaken the signal I
get from
John G4GVC. Also on the QRS, Mike, you obviously have a new
exciter....its
rock stable and there isn't a trace here of the old spacer. You are so
strong that I can just see your 100Hz sidebands on Spectrogram.
On Sunday it seemed very busy, all the usual big UK signals logged. As
a bit of interest, as all were up in a relatively short period, I logged
the S/N indicated on FFTDSP4 (yes I AM running with AGC on the receiver,
mainly to protect my ears when Lech leans on his key, but none of these
signals move the S-meter so they are not into the 'active area' of the
AGC)
G3XDV 22dB G4GVC 19-20dB G3YXM 25dB
G3KAU 27-30dB G3BDQ 15 dB DF2BC/P 16dB!!
G3XTZ 22dB G8RW 13-15dB G6NB 5-7dB
Ok, its not a patch on Dick's measurements, but it's fun. The FFTDSP4
program gives a reading for a 100Hz bandwidth. There is some uncertainty
as I use a 1 sec averaging time, which is obviously a lot longer than the
normal speed code elements, but all except the reading for Mike, were
taken
under the same conditions. Mike peaked 22 on his QRS dashes, he was more
like 20 indicated on hand speed morse. I have also been able to do a
side-by-side test between FFTDSP4 and Spectrogram 5.09 on Mike's QSO with
DJ5BV on Saturday morning. I will report that in a separate posting.
Below the cluster postings for GB7DXM, slightly edited to take out the
'dupes', and some of the 'qso' between Alain and myself.
