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.
