Saturday 5 February
Located fault on LF station - actually two faults which was why it wasn't
easy to find in the dark! The variometer coil had a disconnection in the
middle where it was tapped, and the earth connection was faulty.
Heard SM6PXJ (579); G8PX (569); DF3OE (439); DJ9IE (569);
G3XTZ (5 9+20 9); G3GRO (5 9+10 9); 7S6SAJ (599 with 1kW from a
commercial site in Sweden); G3LDO (599); M0BMU (5 9+20 9).
Worked a new one for me: G3CCH (gave 339, got 569) but lost at the
end because of QRM from Scandinavia!
Sunday 6 February
Got up in the middle of the night, and at 0300 heard a very strong QRSs
station at S9+10dB. Switched on the computer and found it was 7S6SAJ
working DK1IS ('M' with lots of QSB). Called 7S6SAJ afterwards and
exchanged 'O' reports.
Up again at a more civilised hour and heard: G8RW (589); G3OLB
(589); G4GVC (599); LX1PD (579); G3BDQ (599); G6NB (589);
G3KAU (599).
Saw QRSs on Spectrogram screen from DJ5BV ('O').
Worked on QRSs a new one for me: DF6NM ('O'/'O') at 883km.
