Re: LF: PA0 into Alaska 600m

[Rik Strobbe <rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.be>]

I just had a look at the WSPR database an condx must have been excellent
last night:
PA0A can not only copied by KL1X in Alaska (7066km) but also by KL1X/5 in
Texas:

2010-01-11 03:20   PA0A   0.503899  
-27   0   JO33de   5  
KL1X/5   EM26ar   7546   302 

Counting the "uniques" there were 3 paths of +7000km: gold for
PA0A-KL1X/5 (7546km), silver for WD2XSH/10-DL4RAJ (7378km) and bronze for
PA0A-KL1X (7066km).
Further 10 paths in the 6000-7000km range and 16 paths in the 5000-6000km
range.

TA crossings west to east:
WD2XSH/10 was copied by 9 Europeans (best DX DL4RAJ = 7378km)
WD2XSH/17 was copied by 9 Europeans (best DX DL4RAJ = 6251km)

TA crossings east to west:
PA0A was copied by 6 Americans (best DX KL1X/5 = 7546km)
M0BMU was copied by 3 Americans (best DX WA3USG = 5792km)
SM6BHZ was copied by 2 Americans (best DX W1VD = 5935km)
G4JNT was copied by 1 American (best DX W1VD = 5437km)

Also:
There were 23 spots of PA0A by WD2XSH/17 and 14 spots of WD2XSH/17 by
PA0A, a 2 way WSPR QSO would have been possible.
Maybe also for M0BMU - WD2XSH/17 (15 / 8 spots)

Another remarkable thing:
Last night I had 16 spots of WD2XSH/10 (6225km) and "only" 6
spots of WD2XSH/17 (5598km)
Both claim the same ERP (2 Watt)

PAOA into Alaska on WSPR 600m
 
Really awful night up in Alaska too - 60 knot winds from the North.
