Comments:
J was practicing his N1MM skills over the weekend, but offered the station if
I had time.
I managed to put in 2.5 hours during some optimum propagation times for Europe,
while off-shift from ZF5T activities.
Conditions were really GREAT -- as evidenced by the incredible KL7RA score.
Setup is a TS-590S + KW Amp, and the only (real) antenna is a full-size
1/4-wave
40m ground plane with three elevated radials. We tune it with the tuner in the
RF2K-S amplifier. We made it on 5 bands with KL7RA using that antenna
(barefoot on 80; I did not try on 160).
The pileup to Europe was huge on 15 -- but auroral flutter was a bit much. My
40m activiy was hampered by 1200mS latency over the DSL connection. Luckily,
it
cleared up Saturday and settled to about 84 mS -- perfect.
Always a pleasure to give out the mult. Thanks to pal VY1JA for his support and
enduring friendship.
73,
Gerry VE1RM / W1VE
