Hello all,
Thanks for all the contacts. List of stations worked: OK2BVG,
DL2HRE, DF0WD (twice), OH5UFO, OK1DTN, G3XDV (QRSS10), IK5ZPV,
M0BMU, DF6NM, PA0BWL. I think that I-SP and PA-SP are again
first ever on 137kHz but I have to check the LF log of ZCC. My
apologies go to DL3FDO, I had to go to a Sunday family dinner -
I was not at the station when you called me... Conditions were
much better today - G3XDV could have been done with QRSS3 today,
yesterday no copy at all in the afternoon.
Equipment here is still far from being perfect, especially the
RX side. Add to that the 15kV power line jamming from time to
time (wideband S9 noise from VLF to UHF) and two other HF rigs
close to the LF equipment (40m and lower bands killing the
receiver). Only Marconi antenna for reception, but the MV61
really does it's job very well, SM6BHZ & OK1DTN heard on
Saturday without any problem, unfortunately no CW QSO so far.
TX works well also, now GF62 is used as a signal source and this
is rock solid stable. Of course, a bigger antenna could improve
my signals. BTW thank you all on-line grabber owners, it is
great to see your own signal far away.
I don't know whether there will be a big LF activity with
HF75PZK during the WPX RTTY, it is hard to work the HF contest
and LF at the same moment. I will take a look whether it would
be possible to ask for a special permission to use this special
call on LF until the end of March everyday, regardles of higher
bands stations' schedule. In the end - nobody else is active
from Poland on 137kHz so far. If this doesn't go, see you all
under our usual call: SP5ZCC. The station has been rebuilt again
and I hope to be more active from time to time.
