DK0SWF second DARC Mainz 630m operation Sat. Oct. 13th until 14th 2012
Members of the DARC group Mainz/Germany will be operating again on 630m during the coming weekend! They will use a full quarter wave commercial verical! They will startSaturday, Oct. 13th around 16:00 UTC, staying on the air until Sunday 14th around 06:00 UTC. This time they will try different receiving antenna types, hoping to improve the receiving capabilities.
For example, they will also use a better receiver (now R&S EK70) plus a specially designed rx/tx filter, a 472 kHz receiving loop and a second (10km separated) receiving station, linked via VHF.
Please listen for them on 473,500 kHz for any cq calls. They will also use 472,500 kHz temporarily but rather like to keep this one free for other users. QSX on other frequencies (e.g. between 501 and 503 kHz or even cross-band 80m) will be announced.
They are looking forward to work some more of the active 630m stations in EU. Receiving reports and any helpful comments are most welcome via eMail [email protected]
