LF: Re: QSO SV8CS - DF6NM

It is very rare for someone to have a QSO on LF these days.

I normally use CW for that distance and during daytime.

I have seen a good trace from SV8CS a while back.

What you have done was normal some years back. Try CW next time

Subject: LF: QSO SV8CS - DF6NM

Spiros SV8CS and myself just had our first LF QSO. It was a difficult start, due to deep and long QSB and very active thunderstorms over the Ionian sea. After seeing just nothing in the first attempt, we decided to slow down to qrss / dfcw 60. Fortunately around 21:35 propagation suddenly picked up, and we could complete the contact with a comfortable 25 dB SNR.

 

Thank you very much Spiros for this nice contact, and your patience while mastering adverse conditions.

 

Best 73,

Markus (DF6NM)

 

 

PS Mal, never say again that no one can be bothered to conduct an LF QSO any more ;-)
