PA0O ham radio

now the ID is CW  and PI4 code It was JT65C2 for digital ID before It took some time to decode the new digital ID  in PI4 code http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/software/pi-rx  My fir st impression is that  JT65C2 that was used before is decoding quicker and better.  Possible the PI4  will be inproved It is the fir s t time I used this PI4  never heard about it before. Need to read more about it.   JT65C2 did decode fast e no ugh for a beacon 10seconds? PI4 code  will have some mo re options to send extra data and other things.         

Since a few weeks the Rusian OTH radar is active again  Covering the 200Hz  WSPR  window at 80M     3594.1 kHz  WSPR screen looks like this  The straight horizontal lines indicate  a very stable frequency base better then 1hz. WSPR shows the slightest frequency drifting or Doppler effects during Aurora very clearly. It sound like thi s : http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall/OTH80m.mp3 N ot that we wil l loose DX t here simply are no DX decodes last weeks to east.  Except some rare USA in the morning at 80m. 160m  best DX  is not even over 1000k m. The season is closed ftb.  WSPR  using  band hopping  sometimes reports th e wrong band. This usual happens when  manually switching band . Ban d hopping then seems to loose track of the band to report . That is what I experience .   Tonight this happened again but this time I was not at the radio.  B and-switching   ...

Installing S7 Simatic V55 sp3  from my external HD ended in a crash. Installing Simatic software is a.p.i.t.a.   It takes hours and often ends premature with cryptic  error messages Like:  you have no sufficient rights to access  ... the program you are just installing as administrator!.. Or   invalid drive E: while you are installing from DVD drive F:  ... Since installing from DVD station F:   was terminated with error msg no access drive E:   I thought to be smart and copied the install program to my USB drive 1T ADATA   as drive E: This time the drive E: access error did not appear  The install stopped in a crash anyway I was not surprised  it is a Siematic install.. After that my USB HD was damaged  no access possible Win Explorer freezes when trying to open ADATA CH94 (E:) that was now renamed to E: only the message:  drive E: has to be reformatted to use it.. That would mean compl...

3506 Yesterday sunset 2 x identify T2GM call that was it Today nothing heard from T2GM at 3506.5   propagation was reset after the Aurora Sunday. I was hoping for some opening to T2GM  they hear well, hearing them there is a reasonable chance  for  a QSO Unlike H44G H40T     they have serious receiving problems you have to hear them "loud" at least 4-5 S-units to overcome the QRN level. 20130319 1801  14005.7 CW   PA0O         599  H44G            599                     20130318 1730  10104.0 CW   PA0O         599  T2GM            599   easy  they rx well          ...

arctic flutter but good copy at 14.015 kHz   in the middle of the RUDX contest!  I called with some power  but like with H44G no reply at all. http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall/h40t_20.mp3 9M4SLL  on 28001kHz  not strong    aware of the RUDX contest intelligent frequency choice    2 calls only for them real good expedition  H44G H40T is +5000km difficult path over the pole  The dark time is too short for 80 and 160   only weak here 30dB weaker then east of us   9M4SLL is a much easier path for us  General poor propagation  in the RUDXC    

9 M4SLL real loud on 3803kHz  in phon e too but crazy zoo pile   http://www.qsl.net/pa0oos/recall/9m4sll_80phone h44g worked on 40m  but very weak heard on 80m good copy about 539 cle ar on k9ay but they have high QRN  and hear bad  like all H44 until now already confirmed in LOTW Details PA0O 9M4SLL 2013-03-12 16:44:38 30M CW 10.11017 SPRATLY ISLANDS Details PA0O 9M4SLL 2013-03-11 21:52:42 160M CW 1.81330 SPRATLY ISLANDS Details PA0O 9M4SLL 2013-03-10 21:56:51 80M CW 3.52404 SPRATLY ISLANDS
