LF: ES5AM

[Stefan Schäfer <Stefan.Schaefer@iup.uni-heidelberg.de>]

Hi Minto,

Yes, if you PA would be finished you could now try to reach ES5AM who calls CQ on 137.700 kHz, well visible on the OE3GHB grabber! :-)

Hi Stefan,

Well my praise for your signal strength certainly was not meant to imply a derogatory comment on PA0A…  Your sig was just very strong. As it is now, clearly audible. Regular CW would be no problem at all.

As for your remark w.r.t. the building of a  PA..  well I stand corrected..I really really must find the time to finish my 137 setup. Afraid that I see nothing finished in the near future.  alas.. L

Hello Minto,

Thanks. But i am afraid that it sounds not good for the other OMs who joined in, i mean it looks like if we are competitors, not friends who share a great hobby.
Just want to make clear here that my goal is not to be the king or so. I do what i can to make up a good signal  but this does not relative the great signal of the others. PA0A's signal was often as strong as mine at OE3GHB although he is in a higher distance.
The actual goal is to increase activity and allow as many as possible OMs to receive a signal, which is often a requirement for newcomers to find the motivation to build a own PA :-)

Starting again in 15 minutes.

Hi Stefan,

See attached screenshot – just dug it up from my saved screenshots.
As you can see you were significantly stronger than PA0A – more than 5 dB.. nice!

Thanks to all watching stations and their feedback via screenshot or

grabber. Especially the grabbers are important as a continuous feedback!

Also thanks to Albert/PA0A for joining in.

 

Propagation seems to be back, at least in EU and 4X, so in a radius of

3000 km. If the QRN in the far west comes down again, i am looking

forward to further tests.
