Audio recordings SM7LCB in JO86GH
Last updated 16 November 2011. |
During
this NAC microwave contest I worked Kaliningrad UA2 as the first
SM-station on 3cm tropo. He called on ON4KST and asked for sked and
then I easy worked him with very nice signals. I noted that several OZ
station worked him also during that evening. Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark 2011-06-28 2055 UA3DJG/2 JO94XV 10G 226 First SM-UA2 |
Nice
conds during the July part of the NAC 23cm contest. Worked several nice
tropo QSO over the Baltic Sea towards ES, OH and SM2. During this evening I worked my first SM2-station on 23cm so now I have worked all SM areas on 23cm. I toke only 7 year of operation with my remote station to finally get conds to SM2!

No good tropo on Hepburn but this is for 19 July at 06.00Z. |
Very
different to the last NAC 23cm contest. Seem no tropo conds over Baltic
Sea this evening. Some short distance QSO when well via the bad tropo
conds. Else all QSo needed help from airplane to be completed. One
highlight was that DJ1LP came thought very nice on 3cm in the late
evening. Many tries with SM7ECM on 3cm but no QSO. Heard him weak but
able to copy him. But my signal was to weak at his site to be readable.
That tell me I need to make something on my station. Improve the 3cm
station and also make better clear view for my antenna over all trees,
but that will no be an easy task.

This
evening I heard the OH6SHF beacon in KP13GM (868 km) and also the
SK0UHG beacon in JO99BM (369 km, new location of beacon). The
ES0SHF in KO18DN (426 km) was only 519. The ES0SHF will normally be
599++++ when there is conds towards OH. Tried QSO with OH5LK in KP30ON
(779 km) but NIL. Normal because the ES0SHF beacon was so weak eg no
conds. But also tried with OH6KTK in KP02OJ (726 km) in same direction
as OH6SHF but NIL! Confused because OH6 beacons in same direction was
strong but you can never believe how conds will be on the path!Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |

Worked
a new square on 3cm this day. Got a call from SQ3FYK in JO82KI via
ON4KST and after some test we made a nice CW QSO via rain scatter. QSO
via rain scatter on direct path direction. Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |
Good RS: When got home I found some nice rain scatter possibilities on the weather map so I started the station before NAC microwave contest to see if there was any stations QRV. Bad that the contest didn't start one hour earlier this evening! started with sked with DB6NT and after him followed DL6NAA and DL7YC, nice and fun! This was towards the scp north of Berlin. I changed to the other scp east of Hamburg and tested first with DB6NT but nil signals. Then I found DJ6JJ on the same QRG and after some time we worked a nice RS QSO which today is my second longest RS QSO. Thanks all for being QRV!

Nice that I worked some nice QSo before contest so I got some nice QSO on RS this evening! But luckily there was still good so I could work DJ6JJ and DB6NT again. I heard SM7ECM loud when he worked DJ6JJ but we didn't finish any QSO via RS this evening, instead the tropo worked quit easy! Rest of the contest is normal QSO with help of all airplanes in the air, without them we will have problems. Nice with a new station on 9cm with a QSO with Torben/OZ3ZW, welcome on the band!

No
big activity this evening with my small station. Still I only have 2
Watt into a 6 element yagi. No preamp some about 10 dB of attenuation
in front of my IC-706. But I worked 5 DXCC in 5 squares on my 5 QSO. Well I for sure can have worked more station if I have give more time to handle the contest. But nice with OK1RI in log. The story behind this QSO is that I left the station on about 144.074 MHz CW with antenna pointing to SM3 (350 deg). For a hour or so I heard a station working QSO there. Finally I decided to listen how it could be. The station was weak but after some time I found out that is was an OK-station calling CQ. So I have to turn the antenna into another direction (200 deg). When the station was easy readable and after some calling we have made a nice random QSO with my small station. These small things makes radio fun! Only one recording this evening... guess how is on that? Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |
Nice
propagation forecast on Hepburn but small signals on the bands with
very few DX-spots. Peter/OZ9PP wanted to try 13cm so why not try? But
he didn't read me on 13cm. But JO47 is needed on all bands so we tried
on 23cm ant there we made a nice but weak QSO (from my side) with
weak receive of his signals, maybe I need a better preamp soon. But
thanks Peter for square #125 on 23cm (JO47). Maybe more will come soon... Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark | Hepburn for that evening. |
During
this weekend there is many activitys on Öland Island so we drive down
to Öland Friday 12 local time and started with south Öland art night (Södra Ölands konstnatt). It starts at 19 local time and end about 03 local time in the night. Long and nice day. During Saturday and Sunday is the Öland harvest festival (Ölands skördefest)
so some activity on this also. Then there we have the garden which also
need some attention. And in some spare time I enjoyed the IARU
UFH/Microwave contest on 23cm, 13cm, 9cm and 3cm. Conds was supposed to be above normal and during Saturday evening I worked several nice and easy QSO to the south. But I got to bed early and sleeped over the nice morning conds during Sunday morning. But I needed the sleep so I late Sunday could drive back to Stockholm (6 hours drive) and back home at 02 local time Monday morning. On 23cm it worked quit nice but I see I need more output power then my today 50W (30W in antenna). For 13cm I really need a preamp because all signals is always very weak on this band. For 9cm I want to move the preamp closer to the feed point and get a better TX coax. The same for 3cm. Hum a lot of work to be done sometimes but thanks all for the nice QSO and hope for more soon. Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark | OM3KII airplane/waterfall Hepburn for that evening. |
During
the weekend 16-17 of October it seems to been good conds at least on
2m. How about microwave bands I don't know because I was away running
JOTA activity for Solna scoutkår. I have my remote setup with me but
the network connection as to bad for any attempt to start up my station. During 24-25 of October there were some hope for conds towards OH but from my QTH it was only very weak conds as you will hear on the recording below. No QSO was completed so there is only recordings during an attempt on 9cm with OH2AXH. I thing that we maybe have made QSO it working CW. Day after during the NAC microwave contest I was QRV but not very active. More or less only worked station when they asked for sked on ON4KST. So no recording was done and therefore no information about it in this summary. Well I just have to wait for next opening... Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark | Only beacons on the map. |
Some days before Hepburn promise some nice conds during the coming weekend in all directions from my QTH in JO86GH. Well it's not always good to be in the center of these kind of conds because the signals can go over your head without any signal into the antenna. This was also sometime the case. There were QSO over my head there I didn't hear any signal from the stations even when I was in the middle point. Fun for them but bit annoying for me. Date UTC Call Locator Band Mode km Remark Thanks all beacon keeper for all beacons on the air!
