Quite intriguing propagation on this 'new'
band
From some unexpected early 600 mile
+ Opera decodes last night , to
several wspr TA decodes , [G8's again
..] to today's test
with Gary using USB-SSB voice ,
Where as at 1300z we
had 5/9 signals each way as expected
over 25 miles , GI3PDN Ray , called on CW ,
to give a report of 5/9 across the
Irish Sea , some 100 miles for
our two signals , his CW also in the 5/9/9
region, one wonders how far inland the
signals travelled ?
After a short 3 way qso, we closed the
test round 1330z , may not of been
quite as sociable after dark , but
with a small Ae , 40 x 70 ft iv L
and 35 ft Top load vert , 50
watts pep , results defiantly superior
to say 160 mtrs using the same Ae's
