Just completed a QRSS cross-band QSO with VE1ZZ (0030z on 21/2/01). He was
on his usual frequency of 136.5kHz with 3s dots and I was on 3512kHz. LF
conditions were poor and although we started at 2200 we had to wait for over
two hours for the conditions to improve.
I used my LF antenna on 80m, which puts a 599 signal into VE. A G3LNP loop
was used for receiving.
To encourage Jack to be more active and have more QSOs I have asked him to
transmit more regularly and to listen on 3512kHz. He will be transmitting
just his call but if he hears anyone he will transmit their call with a
report. At the moment he is using the RST system but we might ask him to
change to something else.
Regards,
Peter, G3LDO
