Lamp PA 80-100W - abt 10-80mW ERP
We have finished 2-way QSO after 22z
RX9BS in QRSS20, I'm in QRSS3 137.770, O/O
Best argocap from RX9BS is in the attach (between X and 9 Argo's pause)

After 23z I have made beacon "RU6LA" in QRSS30 on abt 135.9225 till
0430z (sunrise at Machta abt 0320z)

MARCH 26-27 Saturday
In day time DCF39's level was abt -20...-30db(S4..5 !!!) than usually (S7-9)
QRB to DCF39 abt 2000km
High QRN's level (static) +10...20db than usually
NOT any Eu signals
After 18z to look RX9BS's freq in 30s mode
Oleg's signal was abt O...M and after 1930z down M...T
We have made one more QSO, "M QRM" RX9BS typing / M

From abt 1950z till 23z CQing in QRSS3 on .735 - without success - NOT

any signals and very low QRM lines. DCF30's level abt S9+10 - QRN high
Periodically I look in Argo's 10 sec mode around my CQ freq (.720-.745)
without success

After 23z RX Joe's VO1NA freq .777 (30s mode) in 30' periods and TX
"RU6LA" (QRSS30) from 2330z on abt 135.9225 in abt 28' periods
NOT any signals from Joe till sunrise (abt 0320z)
After 2z have appeared NA's(??) QRM lines: .7801 .7805 (see

1040z/1140/1310 OK2BVG (CQ) QRSS3 O
14z DL3FDO (CQ) QRSS3 M
i.e. propagation at day time was very good up to 2200km as against Saturday
After 18z CQing in CW (136.8) and QRSS3 (137.700) - NOT replies - only
some NOT IDs
2050-2125z QSO ON7ZO QRSS3 M (his freq drift from .712 down .685 at
ending)
After 21z CQ in QRSS3 (137.735) - some NOT IDs - QSO DF6NM (DFCW3 O)
Periodically I look in Argo's 10 sec mode around my CQ freq (.720-.745)
without success

After 0z RX Joe's VO1NA freq .777 (30s mode) in 30' period and TX
"RU6LA" (QRSS30) from 0030z on abt 135.9225 in abt 28' period
NOT any signals from Joe
After 1z RX Joe's VO1NA freq in 90s mode and from 0120z saw Joe's
"NA" in 90s mode (see attach #3) but I already slept. After 0232z
computer was switched off (??)
The signals from Laurence are not present in this period on the
my argocaps

TNX for efforts, reports and files to all!

1. I have not e-mail at Machta and can not read mail box - We have only
DX-cluster via Packet Radio on 2m on RN6BN's or AB5K's DX-clusters now
- in "Run" windows or "MS-DOS" windows typing TELNET RN6BN.73.RU and
then you will ask you call
- typing SH/U   (= show users)
- call me T RU6LA <text> or T UA6LV <text>  (talk with <call>)
or announce any msgs from any other DX clusters

2. Call me in a slow mode in borders of my CQ freqs - I usually choose
the cleanest freq for my CQ on my Argo's screen:
- for QRSS10 +/- 12Hz
- for QRSS30 +/- 3Hz

3. Write to me if you want to nominate sked with RX9BS - Oleg has
some problems.

4. I and UA6LV have made some the HF antena's preparation for weekend
5. At the weekend on 160/80m we had DX QSOs mainly with a southern
hemisphere (at 26-27 night only Carribian), but on the our sunrise at
28 March and QSO's with California and not enough with East coast NA)
