Operator List: N9NC, W0YR
Equipment Description:
IC-738, 500W, A4S, Linear loaded 40M rotatable dp, 80M Inverted V
Comments:
Our planned expedition to TA3 was cancelled because of storms 10 days
ago which took out the roads and power to a coastal qth (kindly offered by
Alp,
TA3G), so we operated from Mike's house in Budapest.
Our excuses:
Physically fatigued at start from constructing/erecting the rotatable
dipole on Friday
afternoon (which required dismounting and remounting the A4S while
literally sitting on the chimney top- talk about hot cross buns...)
Extreme line voltage fluctuation.
S9+20 automated arc welding broadband noise for 1.5 hours on each day.
W0YR cut the 80M V for 35.25 MHz, a tad short, until he found his
glasses and could read the decimal point on the MFJ-259.
He also fried the homebrew band decoder/relay box, claiming it was RF
and that HE should have been properly bypassed.
On the plus side:
The HA/ caused less trouble than in SSB, it's a piece of cake
compared to FBC6... and 4K80ADR.
Plenty of Eu despite poor conditions, higher Q total than SSB, but
very few stateside on all bands.
Our credo: "Gumi Nekul"
73,
Tom HA/N9NC, Mike HA/W0YR
