Attn Dave, G3YXM,
Hi Dave,
On 21/03/07 you wrote < Whoops! Sorry
about the QRM>
No problem Dave, I could hear your in CW
calling in beacon mode abot 501.5kHz and Dave G3WCB on QRSS3 at the same time on
503.5kHz calling CQ and I was hovering between both of you in the hopes of
attracting attention from one or the other but I guess I came a bit close to
your frequency when I called and I did not realise that Dav's RX was a
bit wide so he was hearing you also..
Sorry that you did not make it with Malta
that night by the way.
It is noticeable that QSB is more in evidence
on 500kHz by comparison with 136kHz and on that evening, you were dipping from
about RST 539 almost down into the noise. Like you, I have rough rasping SMPU
sproggy which drifts across the band from time to time!
Hope to work you soon,
73, Derek G3GRO

Whoops!
Sorry about the QRM.
I had a sked with a
station in Malta (HI... needless to say he didn't hear me) which was
pre-planned to be on 503k. I couldn't see/hear anyone on the frequency but
then I did have a horrible amount of SMPS interference last night.
I hope
to work you both soon.

Hi,
Derek
Thanks for standing by for 10 minutes while I had to go and do
a bit of
family taxi-driving! I missed some of your transmissions
because you were
co-channel with Dave G3YXM who is in beacon mode also on
503.0 kHz...and my
CW is a bit rusty too!
You were a good signal
in the clear on 502.2 when you called Dave a little
later on.
I
estimate your signal to be about 3db stronger than G3YXM, but I guess
you
are quite a bit nearer to me. I can send you a "Spectran" screenshot
if you
are interested.
I'm running 10W to a 20m "Tee" at 5m high,
which gives an estimated erp or
less than 50mW, given that the antenna is
rather poor. My RX setup is a 500
kHz preamp into an ICOM IC-PR1000,
which has quite a wide passband, and
isn't really suited to
CW.
Thanks for the QSO, and good luck on the band.
73, Dave
