Re: LF: RE: EA5DOM MF CW Christmas beacon

[DK7FC <selberdenken@posteo.de>]

Hello Luis,

My congrats to your successful activity. There seem to be many new stations from your country. Imagine they would all become QRV that would be a good impulse for your region.
I'm sorry, i missed all the chances to receive you, i've not been near the shack at night during the last days and not been near a fast and free internet access, so i was unable to give you a report. It would have been possible of course. I remember our easy and relaxed CW QSO a few weeks ago :-)

73, and let's do some exciting things in 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi MF

Thank you for the reports. This year I got a great interest between the EA CW OMs and they were spoiled

to chase for the beacon. So the goal was fully achieved. Hope this will lead some of them to go further active

in the low bands

The final message with reporting station ended with 28 EA and 8 from abroad

Hi MF

 

For a first night there is a nice list of reporting stations. Specially newcomers, which have been sourprised by the signal and then start

asking "how". So, getting interested in the low bands

 

Have been monitoring my signal over Europe using different Perseus SDRs. Thank you Roelof ! ;-)

 

The most outstanding is Mauritz, SM2BYC in Kukkolaforsen. North Sweden in the border with Finland and about 3400Km from here

After 23z the CW signal was loud and clear when QSB was rising. He is using a 2m long vertical whip 5m from the ground

70m buried line appart from the house and Mini Circuits PGA-103+

 

Observing SDRs have noticed that there is some QRM at 474.400 in the north sea and Scandinavia. So have QSY to 474.600

Not yet at reach of the modulated upper band of BIA but a bit closer

 

Second turn tonight

Hi MF

Following this tradition initiated by Stefan. A CW beacon (yes CW, the REAL thing)

will be on air at 474.400 from about 20 to 24 utc, starting tonight

Reporting stations will be added to the message, as usual

As you know. The aim is to provide a signal for hams which just by chance discover the band

even with suboptimal Rx
