At present I am happy with CW, QRSS and Opera on MF/LF
That is fine.
I am sure if I had Wspr I would make it to FR5ZX like all the
others, it does not look difficult,
It is difficult but you would make it, i agree.
BTW what is difficult?
Some say: "With your big antenna and QRO it is nothing special
(=not difficult) to make 10000 km on LF"
Others say: "When living in such a quiet location close to the
sea, like you, receiving TA stations is nothing special"
Or: "When transmitting LF QRP into a small antenna and getting
TA reports anyway, a "T" report once in 3 months, in exceptional good
condx, this is nothing special! It is just due to the good propagation,
not due to your work and skills"
Or: "Seeing a trace in VLF in "DFCW-60000" is nothing special
because it is just due the high integration times and signal stability.
Everyone could do it when having a station and signal generator like
you"
Or: "With your bought equipment, ready to use, developed and
built by others, it is easy to get good RX results. Nothing special!
Not your work. You just put it on the table, switched it on, choose the
right frequency and waited a bit"
So what is special?
I would say special is when:
-You make the best out of your situation (QTH, money, time, R loss, R
rad, ERP) to arrange a working radio system and
-When you use that system regularly!!! (kWh :-) )
-Work on your skills and try to improve the system
-When you build your own stuff from the skills that you worked on.
I would like a CW or QRSS 5 QSO with FR5ZX if he was suitably
equipped.
Me too. Maybe in the future, maybe.
Most MF signals are reaching long distances but unfortunately
there are not enough DX stations through the world listening or
engaging.
cfm. But also, maybe in the future. The band population is growing and
FR5ZX is a good multiplicator for activity. I hope he will stay.
73, Stefan
