My first SARTG RTTY. Used the middle period to play in NAQP SSB.
WAC: NA SA OC
DXCC: HI K LU VE VK ZL ZP
Best DX (distances per WriteLog beam heading)
-------
1. 221141z VK4UC, Australia, 20m, 9094 mi (1819 mi/watt)
2. 221246z ZL2AMI, New Zealand, 20m, 8177 mi (1635 mi/watt)
Considering the poor band condx over the weekend, I was very surprised when
VK4UC and ZL2AMI copied my QRP calls.
Nice to work Paraguay/ZP5DBC on 20m, a country I seldom hear on the air.
It was interesting to observe IonoProbe (http://www.DXAtlas.com/) report Radio
Blackouts and/or Geomagnetic Storms in almost real-time. The bands would get
very quiet almost immediately when blackouts were reported.
Yaesu FT-897 transceiver operated at 5 watts into a 5-MHz OCF 28-gauge insulated
wire stealth antenna up 40 feet in heavy foliage trees next to I-75 in downtown
Atlanta industrial area (S9 noise level with 500-Hz IF filter). SGC SG-237
Smartuner. Tigertronics SignaLink SL-1 sound card radio interface. WriteLog
10.48f with RTTYrite.
