[Sunday 30.08 2009] - New OK record on 122 GHz - 15,7km

Czech Hydrometeorological Institute predicted colder weather on Sunday which was an opportunity to further attempts on 122 GHz .. That the air Humidity is better then usual we saw due to better visibility. After a necessary test from Jilemnice to Benecko OK1UFL went on Karlov hill near Studenec from where was lately achieved the 122 GHz contact on distance of 14.2km. Next QRB extension we did with some complications, because suitable hills are hopelessly overgrown with trees and find the "tree-less" QTH isn't easy. For precise direction-check we used our equipment for 47 GHz. Contact between Benecko and Horka near Stara Paka is new OK distance record - 15,7km long. QSO was done in CW wih 559 reports.
