PA0O ham radio

Q RN 160m 1824.16     strong signal  later fb copy http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall/7O6T_160_1.mp3 7 0.160MHz   heard OH6BA 519 ES  just fading out. 7O6T   28.024   morning good signal  giant pile of course But random QSX style   low QSO rate fast CW. The QSX found several times but he seems to QSY after 1 QSO? 21024 was easy for me just 2 calls  near the QSX freq  But 10m seems to be impossible now.  will try later after they worked most S-Eu's  and call cq with no takers... Would be nice to get  160m  but so-far they have not been there only a slim was worked. Should not be too difficult from here on TB.

The Smilde Radio/TV  mast is going to rebuild after the fire and collapse last year June.     http://youtu.be/Qs40jo_4tr4 A Swiss team of specialists will rebuild it to 300m height. They use a helicopter to rebuild the mast section by section.  They bring up 1 section in  less then a minute  to the exact position. The heli comes up  taking the mast section on a long line. The line must be long enough to keep the working position safe from the downward airflow.  It looks so easy!  The mast section on a 50m long line does not swing! And comes exact at the right level at the top of the mast. The heli keeps in position like a Hummingbird keeping position like fixed. Afterwards I realised  this is a technical operation of very high level literally.   Propagation  the 160m good times are over  ZL3NW was not heard yesterday SS.    But 7O6T now worked on 80 and 20   stro...

Good signal on 3504  579 peaking  but huge pile up. I called several times direct on their QSX but not heard. After long persistent calling to my surprise I received the 599. Lots of QRM on 80m of course but the band was empty anyway  guess no one could have a problem with that.  Later 7O6T  very strong on 30m hard to believe it was real. But no QSO

http://www.yemen2012.com/ they start at 21:00 UTC 30 April Today again there was ES on 70MHz  not here but west G was working to CT.  And I found I was not ready for it. Got a bad  audio report when calling USB very bad report. Now after running WSPR mode on 70.091 since the end of January  many many WSPR reports are received and decoded using the Flex1500 and WSPR V2.21. I got it reasonable stable and the time-on counts is over 1200hours already. Now the ES season is approaching but operating  CW or Phone is a headache.  The internal keyer is useless, the SDR time delay make it impossible to give code I could not send my own callsign I tried it impossible!  And in the past I have used keyers  that nobody could use. CQ-ing using my tones is way easier then  let the code pass the SDR processing... In phone the output is too low few microwatts?  in digimode tune or CW  the level is normal about 0dBm. The microphone gai...
