Hi MF

As told before, the only station received here was DK7FC. Some others hardly noticed that they were calling

So, as party means FUN and I was getting bored here, tried Roelof PA0RDT Perseus as remote Rx

DJ6CB easily copied answering my calls. Then I answered back. No RST as explained that I was receiving

via SDR. So no valid QSO but FUN !

I will certenly repeat the experience. It is the only way for me to make CW QSOs with more stations :-) 

Hope not to confuse anybody thinking that this are two way QSOs but only one way with SDR Rx confirmation

Set it on the custer also as a non valid QSO

Asunto: LF: De F6CNI : CW QSO PARTY report

 

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.
