HI all.
For info, my short report about
the CW QSO PARTY. I was only QRV receiving CW, no
transmitting. I was listening during 2 periods, each of
about 1 hour 1/2 long.
RX FT1000MP full options (a
fantastic CW RX on LF/MF) and as RX antenna a vertical
tube 9.5 m high, base loaded with a L circuit : serial
1.1 mH coil and 4700 pF capacitor in parallel coaxial
side.
The window 472 – 475 kHz band
was QRN quiet, but high QRM due to the Poland NDB and
his 2 x side AF modulations, which is coming here 589.
The segment 474.3 to 475.4 kHz is very clear and for me
the best choice for CW, but nobody was using it... The
segment 472 – 472.7 is also clear but that is a pity to
heard some high power station staying long time on the
QRG and calling and calling many and many CQ without
having the slightest consideration or the politeness for
the others.
I heard 16
stations in 7 DXCC countries.
The first QSO I heard was DJ6CB
/ G3YXM at 1657 TU.
The strongest and best report
599+ to EA5DOM calling some CQ beginning at 1822 TU.
Some stations was calling him but no QSO. Later he
worked DK7FC.
Also strong 599 report to DK7FC
who had also at times some problems to copy QRP station
calling him.
I did not copy my old friend Jeff F6BWO, because I was
not listenint at his QRV time.
