XV2TT 160m tonight

http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall/xt2tt_160.mp3 heard them good this evening deep QSB  much  easier here then  28MHz in the " Arctic zone JO33hg" The radio difference  between living in JO33 and Italy or JNxx is that here we can work XT2TT  28M Hz if very patience and willing to spend some hours running high ERP  while in Ital y XT2TT is already  50MHz worked.

FIJI

Veel radio activiteit in januarie  vanaf FIJI 3D2RX   3D2NB 3D2RO Maar het is uitkijken  bij het ophangen van een Beverage op Fiji! Watch out when rolling out your Beverage at FIJI. You may never return! http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/1901/reisnieuws/article/detail/1318153/2011/09/13/Mysterie-op-Fiji-vierde-dode-toerist-gevonden-in-3-maanden.dhtml

H44KW V63ZM the (allmost) unworkables

H44KW 10114kHz CW this evening again working EU  weaker but just after EA8AK? (QSO B4 )  I called at his QSX  and this time he came back woow  my first QSO with the Solomon Isl. was a fact 3D2RX  7011.3  worked being  the 3rd  40m 3D2 this month To say it in one phrase: DX hunting can be a frustrating thing.   Some DXCC  seem  unworkable no matter how loud they are.    V63ZM 80cw  and   H44KW 10106 cw   real loud. Must have huge pile yes but it was spread out and it did not seem that busy to me. But never a chance  only special ear for G  heard  no ears for other W-EU ?  deja vue  V63ZM  heavy QRN ? My ERP is too low?   in the ARRL 1 call 100W to a not very strong big gun was enough it can not be that Now I was calling with  PA . What more do I need  to be able to work V63ZM and H44KW? Easier to work the  Fiji islands or ZL ...

S57A 474 kHz V63ZM 80 cw

Most activity was in WSPR  but some CW QSO have been made using the FLEX1500 at 474.200kHz I need to make a X-verter  for this band anyway since the Flex is having some spurious  6.5kHz +/- Pity it looked an easy way to be on this 630m. I received this nice card.  I have been long time in Slovenia near Ormoz Ljutomer Ptuj  Jeruzalem I know the area a bit good memories.   Yesterday I was attending 80/160 Sunset here  Heard V63ZM  starting CQ at 3507    real nice signal  peaking 579 Despite I called right from the start when the cluster spots did not yet reached the 80m QRI folks to initiate the ZOO. He worked almost exclusively OK UA I  few    DL's  ( close to OK I guess)   I tried  all the tactics,  calling at QSX  just after a QSO  ( not on top as the usuals do...)  called little above  or below QSX or in a clean QSX freq .  But sometimes it feels like ...

ARRL DX CW 2013

Mostly S&P    running low power  & dipole The 7 call district was the touch one here with auroral flutter. Only the big guns came through. Idaho and Wyoming  not heard  Nevada heard only. But even the 1,2,3,4,5 call district have rare ones Like Maine  ME  DC MS Besides the good signals and operators from Stateside.  Checking off all states in the map that was always my attraction for the ARRL contest. 49 USA States + 14 VE Provinces   including the 5 never heard NWT LB MB YT NU  and rare AB behind the AURORA shield that we have to deal with more than S/SE EU   KH6 is DX 63 multy's  x 6 bands is the maximum. Propagation was not super  but good enough.  10m was open more on Sunday  even to  CA. I did not have a beam up that would have been nice  but a small physical problem held me down. When running CQ with beam a more comfortable signal could attrack the missin...
