Hi
all,
It seems our report sent yesterday "bounced", maybe because of the
three attachments of Argo traces. We copied three DX beacons. So
a resending of the report for the first night, but no attachments.
Hi
all,
Visiting town early afternoon, after a morning sleep, we note no
reflector reports of ZM2E. At ZM2E we received many beacon IDs, for
much of our night. QRN was moderate. We had a beacon plan where
ZM2E sent Z on quarter hours, and other particpants sent their single letter
beacon on the hour and half hour.
Nothing seen of a V from
VO1NA. Several Js copied from VY1JA, starting from 0930z T copy, then M
copy 1030z thru 1130z, then back ot T copy at 1200z. Nil J from then
on. O copy of U from UA0AET at 1230z and 1300z, then nil
at 1330z. Then O copy of X from RX9BS 1430z. Both 1500z and 1530z
gave O copy of U and T copy of X. At 1600z we got O copy of U and nil
of X, at 1630z O copy of U and M copy of X. 1700z we got T copy of both
U and X. 1730 M copy of U. We decided to go to beacon mode before
ZL sunrise. Some sample captures are attached. The captures include overload
of ZM2E transmit signal.(which is rather strong here ::-)
ZM2E often
sent the ID of the station copied to indicate a path opening, so from from
1045z we sent Js, and from 1245z sent Us.
ZM2E beaconed with Z at
137776.0/137776.2 at 1740z, then narrowed shift to avoid RX9BS, ZM2E Z beacon
137776.05/137776.15 from 1750z to 1820z, when a suspected PC lockup ended the
session (ZL sunrise 1841z). If we find tonight that RX9BS is too close
with dot frequency, then ZM2E will stay on 0.1 Hz shift and use
137776.0/137776.1. ZM2E operators Bob ZL2CA, Mike ZL4OL and David
ZL4DP, all logging many awake hours.
We would appreciate it if Alan G3NYK
could adjust the northern hemisphere receiving part of his propagation
requisition :-)
73, Bob ZL2CA and Mike
ZL4OL.
