9M4SLL SPRATLY

Die Spratly Tragödie 1983

Almost 30 years ago

tonight 9M4SLL heard at 160 wkd at 80

earlier H44G very weak at 80m

But al propagation seems shifted to South EU.

Signals are very weak and if something interesting is heard a lot of QRI tuning and deliberate QRM makes you want to switch of radio.

If 9M4SLL says OH1? OH1? again pse..

Then the pile just keeps the same...

everyone keeps calling as if there is no relation with whatever 9M4SLL says

How different is this when listening to a pile of state side signals

There is no discipline in Europe plus deliberate jamming is common now at every DX that attracks HAM's A cluster spot and a zoo is starting.

I must admit that it sometimes happens to me calling simplex when split is asked. The K3 split setting is lost when swapping bands. A short check at 80m and back to 160 a K3 owner has to check every time whether the K3 is still operating shift frequency before calling.

if not CONFIG:SPLT SV is set to YES

bedankt Enno ..had kunnen bedenken dat er zo'n optie was

An other thing is that sometimes the RX of the 2nd RX is gone. Then I do a power cycle to reset. After that the 2nd RX is back but VOX is of and split also cleared.

I think split is now kept since SPLT SV=yes.

But it is easy to have a mistake in the situation.

But I will not join the police force to make comments on that over the DX calling frequency that will only ad more QRM.

The simplex calling om can make a tiny operating fault I do not necessary have to hear the om but I will hear the stupid police for sure.
