Hello Andy,
Did you have a bad day again, hm? Something
above S9 seems to trigger your destructive writing (= action). We already know
that from you. My answer (=
re-action) may help you to find the right
way.
How many stations did you hear, 16. That's fine. How many did you
work:
0! What a bad result Andy!
I heared 15 stations and
worked
14 of them (9H1ES seemed to have a problem with his TRX somehow).
And think about your old friend Jeff F6BWO. It would have just fit into
his 'politeness' to get a call from his old friend F6CNI. But
nothing!
That seems to be quite frustrating, hearing soo many stations
and beeing unable to work one of them. Could this eventually be a reason why you
throw your frustration against people keeping the band alive? You can do this
very well, we know it from the last years. Talking about ham spirit and staying
passively in the background and writing complaints against high-power stations.
For what??
But what about doing something constructive? I have an idea:
You take your time and energy to build (build! not buy!) a real PA and a real
antenna (the XYL may help and carefully bury the ground wires during that time),
then you come in the situation to work say 50% of the stations you can hear.
That consideration agrees with the 'politeness' of everyone you heared on the
band. These people were on air because they were interested in QSOs!
And
then think about your QRP stuff. Its fine to play with it in WSPR etc. But CW
would be
dead on MF if anyone runs 20 mW. And you know that.
And
then: "
The strongest and best report 599+ to
EA5DOM". What a cheap trick. Never ever Andy! But i can see what you are
trying: You think that i want to be the strongest station and you think that you
can frustrate me by saying that EA5DOM was the strongest station. This is the
actual aim of this statement. It's so simple to discover, i'm getting tired.
Let me tell you, i just want to make the best out of the possibilities i
have for amateur radio. If EA5DOM is stronger, then i'm happy for him and for
the active people and those who like to receive signals from far away, like
FR5ZX! And i would (did) help Luis to improve his system(s) if he asks me. You
also know that.
I try what i can do not to reply to any of your
complaints from now on, but sometimes it is hard to stay in the background,
honnnestly
73, Stefan
PS: If you can hear 16 stations with your
super ears and i was working 14 stations (heared 15), then there can't be many
stations calling me that i didn't hear or work during the evening,
right?

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.
73 @++ Andy.
