What a pleasant surprise when I logged on to LoTW today. VK9XX had uploaded the log and gave me another country on LoTW (#244). I'm closing in on 250 now. The postage rates increased in Norway from January 1st 2010, as if the rates weren't high enough. That makes me even happier that more and [...]
Take a look at this video. Quite an amazing signal for eme. This video reminds me of LA8AV Egil's 23CM setup. I visited him once during an eme contest in 2006. I remember he worked LX1DB on CW and then LX1DB asked Egil to go on SSB too. Signals were amazing, but no wonder when [...]
Lance W7GJ released a new version of his moontracking software a few days ago. He has included a map which shows the moon terminator. This can be quite useful to determine who has moon and who hasn’t. Lance saw the need for this on his E51SIX expedition, where he had no internet access most of [...]
I have played a little bit more with 6M EME. Since the band doesn’t really produce any DX, one must do it the hard way. Here are the stations I have worked so far:
July 24th K2ZD FN21
August 12th JR6EXN PM53
August 13th ZL3TY RE57
August 18th ZL3NW RE66, K6QXY CM88, N6RMJ DM14, G4IGO IO80
August 19th K1SG FN42
Hopefully [...]
After getting my new 6M yagi up in the air, I have wanted to try it on eme to see how it performs. To see the times that are best to the different stations, I found GJTRACKER to be an excellent program. The program is written by Lance W7GJ and was originally a dos version. [...]
Sunday wasn’t over after the last report. Instead of editing my last post a third time, I decided to save it for this post. I noticed LA5UF spotting KP4EIT on SSB, but I was too late. A few hours later, the band suddenly opened to northern OH. I heard and worked OH8UV and OH7HXH. Finally I [...]
Good 6M openings has been missing lately. Most of the expeditions are qrt and I only managed 8R1DB of those who were on expedition. I had a miss with 3A2MD on the 8th of July. I heard Laura and called her, but she faded out. 3A seems to be a tough one to get. I [...]
