Author: sire@omen.com.au (Steve Ireland)
Date: Sun, 8 Aug 1999 21:13:47 +0800
After hearing strong central/south american signals on 40m around 1000Z today (Sunday), I tuned down to 1.8308 at 1008Z and was amazed to hear P43W calling CQ at a solid RST 559. Unfortunately, after

I was very sorry to hear about the death of Ron WA7UQV. He gave me the biggest thrill of my first couple of years on 160m from Western Australia, with a QSO in January 1996 when he was operating from

Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 07:57:57 +0800
In early August some reflectees may remember a posting about P43 being heard at VK6VZ on 8/8. Hearing Zone 9 at any time of year in Western Australia is very very rare and no QSOs had ever been made

For those who need 5H, it looks like 5H3RK is a regular on 1832, listening on 1833, during his evening time. He was RST 549 from 2215Z until just after my sunrise at 2235Z, calling CQ solidly but wit

For the last couple of weeks, I have been playing around doing some crude comparisons between my old inverted-U dipole at 45' (in the centre) and a new inverted vee at 90' at the apex. Now, I may be

Author: sire@omen.com.au (Steve Ireland)
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 06:47:02 +0800
A blanket of poor propagation and atmospheric noise, causing frustration and despondency, fell onto the VK6VZ QTH as soon as the Pacific DX Test commenced. With a steady S5 - S7 noise level and even

3B8/DL2HWA was heard at a solid RST 559 at 2244Z (just about Perth sunrise) on 25/04/99 on 1828, calling CQ. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite quick enough to catch him before he went QSY or QRT, but his

I was very interested to read the piece by W3EKT about his Lazy U antenna. Funnily enough, the antenna I use to work loads of DX on 160m is the very same sort of antenna he actually rejected for DX w

After a couple of weeks away on holiday, the band seemed in as bad shape as when I left - dead, dead and dead, despite FB propagation in the northern half of the globe. In the last two days, things h
