Comments:
Operated as PJ2G from the CCC (PJ2T) station on Curaçao.
Although the CCC (PJ2T) station is well equipped and has a 100ft tower with
large fixed monobanders for each band just for Europe, the local topography is
exceedingly challenging towards the North East (Europe). There's steep and
continuously rising ground away from the "Europe" antennas. Despite the massive
antenna installation, it was hard to be heard at good strength in Europe. The
SFI being at a mere 68 did not help either!
With the bands being totally closed to Europe for a considerable part of the
day, having a minimum of twelve hours "off" was not a problem.
It was a change for me to be a sender (rather than a recipient) of QTCs. With
the excellent Win-Test software, sending the QTCs is remarkably easy and user
friendly. However the true 'operator satisfaction' is not in sending QTCs, but
in receiving them!
