The spotlight moved to MT last evening. Sunset is about 0310z. I was here
by 0245z and heard a local, G3JMJ. There was a w7 cqing on the same
frequency about the same strength so hard to separate both signals. Don was
479 but
didn't get my report. I found him a bit later for that.
At 0306z SM7BIC was like a local about 579 to 589. Then G4AMT and then S59A
at 0311z. I heard Drago for only a few seconds but it was a good qso.
I heard several other calling but very fast qsb and so would get OK2Z? and
M0?? etc.
The opening faded out around 0320z.
I was right next to a big HA signal altho didn't hear him. I probably
should have found a spot for split.
Tx was 1.5 kw into 2 elements of 90' pipe endfire array. Several rx
antennas. Best was a short Beverage aimed at South Africa. I have a K7TJR 4
el rx
array for over the pole signals but usually too much aurora here being so far
north.
I had asked Tree to send me some Boring stuff and he did a good job.
