Dear LF Group,
Very pleased to have a QSO with UA9OC last night. I saw only intermittent
bits of signal until about 2230, but then UA9OC was very clear "O" copy up
until midnight. Although they were using QRSS30, QRSS3 would probably have
been readable here. Much to my surprise, they saw my signal too, and gave
me an "M" report. Power here was ~1W ERP from 13m high inverted V, and for
receive I was using a 2m x 2m "wide-band" loop (see the bandpass loops
article downloadable from G3YXM's "features" page).
From this experience, and also ZL2CA's reception of UA9OC earlier in the
week, It would appear the path to UA9 can change rapidly, so definitely
worth watching out for the remaining days of the expedition. This is my
most distant (and slowest!) 2 way LF QSO so far - the distance is similar
to UK - VE.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
