What a weekend! Heard 18 different stations in 7 countries. The Campen
Lighthouse expedition caused lots of activity, and a Ropex pile-up,
though they couldn't hear me. Worked 6 countries, including a new one.
Saturday 21 August
Low QRN. Low local noise. Lots of activity.
Installed synthesizer on loan from G0MRF (thanks Dave). Works fine,
though I had to tweak my PA a little to get rid of some distortion on
the finally transmitted waveform.
Heard DJ5DI (539); PA0SE (579); DF2BC/P and DL9BDM/P (589); G3YXM (5
9+10 9); G3AQC (599); G3BDQ (599); G3KAU (5 9+20 9); G0UPU (549); G3XTZ
(5 9+20 9); G8RW (599). Some very strong signals from the regulars these
days.
Worked DJ5BV using QRSs ('O'/'O'); G4GVC (gave 599, got 579).
Worked EI0CF (559, 3/4 3 9). This QSO was a real pleasure as we have
tried to work on many occasions including several skeds. The contact in
the end was a random one. He is the 45th station I have worked on 136,
and the 9th country. Thanks, Finbar.
Sunday 22 August
Another noise-free morning.
Heard DF2BC/P (up to 599, by far the best signal heard from DL); DJ5BV
(539); G3BDQ (5 9+10 9); G3YXM (5 9+10 9); G3XTZ (5 9+20 9); PA0MLC (319
and a new station for me - nr 68 heard); G8RW (599).
Worked GW4ALG (599, 589); G4GVC (599, 5 7/8 9).
Worked on QRSs ON4ZK ('O'/'O') and heard HB9ASB ('O').
