ZITAVA 2012 – One weekend on the boat

 

 

 

Jaro/OM1II  and Lubos/OK2BVG(OM9AAI) are planning their special activity weekend. They would like to make some interesting radio contacts on medium waves at the range 630m between November 2th and 4th.

More information on CW simplex, split and crossband operation will be provided directly on transmitting frequency, or via internet DX-cluster:

 

The frequencies:
Simplex -             472,5 kHz +/- QRM
Split -                  472,5 / 502 kHz  +/- QRM
Crossband -          472,5 / 3547 kHz +/- QRM

RIG:

630m -                  Kenwood TS-590 + PA 25 W 
80m -                    ICOM IC-7000

Antenna:
630m -                  Marconi „T“
80m -                    dipol

 

The 630m band has been used for marine navigation. Jaro and Lubos would like to remind, that frequencies from 472 to 479kHz should be available for ham radio enthusiasts next year.  

Because of this, they will transmit directly from the boat „ZITAVA“, which is berthed in Slovak river port Bratislava.

The boat was leant by company „Slovenská plavba a prístavy a.s. (SPaP a.s.)“. Many thanks!

You have an opportunity to test your receivers´ sensitivity. Each QSO and SWL report will be awarded by QSL card.

 

Jaro and Lubos hope, that the weather or  medium wave propagation will  not affect this event negatively. We will see J
