Door aanhoudende global heating was het vandaag midden juni  16-6-2015 nog niet mogelijk zonder dikke Noorse trui buiten te zitten voor het avond eten. De lekkere oven patatjes zouden zo te snel afkoelen. Het sneeuwde gelukkig niet meer. Toen ongelooflijk magic magic!  signalen hoorbaar op 50.000.000 Hz! 4L1AN  usb 50110  enige tijd goed neembaar Georgië   tot zo'n S 5 By numbers..   big south EU pile   calls number 3 only dan duurt het wel even voor  nummer nul weer aan de beurt is   toedeledoki   4L1AN natuurlijk Veel EA YO YU HA DL 's  aanroependen gehoord  dat ging niet best  simplex. 4L8A  CW  50100  niet gehoord. LN21 ongeveer vergelijkbare afstand als Israël  KM72  zou vaker moeten kunnen lukken.

June first week no interesting DX 50 or 4m  dead bands most of  the time. Gray skys cool and some rain after our punishment for the one day summer..   Boring  all bands closed short wave and VHF! Time for other things.  Ordered 3B9FR QSL by  the paypal service of M0OXO .. first time I used this to get  Checking  6m DXCC confirmed it is a bit.. behind  170 cfm'd of 212  I wonder if I ever can get those old cards  Somewhere I strongly feel that the 3B9FR was the only new one this season. the other opening??  30seconds ???  to 5Z0L was missed. That morning I was working to improve the 6m antenna mast was down bad timing. Now the 4 ele seems to work more optimal very directional  hopefully it brings the dBd that matches the hardware  about 4m50 boom. Only surprise was that one warm evening  I was called on the local chat frequency 145.525MHz vertical 10W  by M0TLX Dave in IO9...

Friday 30C+  after weeks 13C  now, to much heat. Until 20hour local we sat outside very warm, no wind but the thunder strorm front was approaching. Then sudden a gale force wind  we had to rush inside. All antennas disconnected power switched of One cable of the top antenna was sparking a lot behind the desk Without direct lightning and still dry the sky was loaded with electricity. But we where lucky no damage. A new software from K1JT / team ! Supports JT9 JT65 WSPR-2 and -15  a wider graph that shows signals  outside the 200Hz window. WSPR mode with faster decoding.  This version lets you select bands per 24 hour to use sunset sunrise grey line period span day and night  very useful feature Another step in automation.. Above 10m bandhopping does not work. So 6 and 4m has to be selected manuel. The CAT communication is polling continue not like v2.21 only at change of operation. After starting WSJT-x  monitoring start immedia...
