NICE XMAS TROPO FROM PRAGUE TO UR,LY,SM,GM,G

20-26th September 2006

  
 
OK1TEH JO70FD 320m asl

Very interesting tropo. YL3GDF was 59++ for over 6 hours! The same was with 2m beacon SR2VHM frrom JO94 and LY2WN was copied too . Next goal was contact with SP5WCK from KO12 on 70cm, few UK stations (I hrd GW8IZR on 70cm too) and the biggest success in the end,  UR5LX on 2m and 70cm with distance over 1522km!! It's my new QRB record. With UR5LX I already had qso via Es, Ms, Aurora, EME and now tropo, no complains :-))

During 24th December the GB3ANG beacon from IO86MN was booming 59+++ over 8 hours (tnx to beacon keep GM4ZUK!), however no activity from the East coast of Scotland so only one qso was made with GM0TGE IO87 and MM0DQP IO88 was heard too.

After X-mas contest there was ufb tropo from DL,SM,OZ into EA1!! with the biggest distance over 2000km on 70cm, however we wern't lucky in OK due to Alps.

Well next time please EI5FK, OY9JD and EA1UU in the same day :-)))

PS: pse remember, that 144.300 is DX calling frequency and don't chatting there..

 

PPS: I was calling G4UKP on 144315 MHz in ssb+cw, his signal was from 41 to 31 with deep qsb (like EME). I heard him for over 2h. After the tropo I got this email:

Hello Matej
 
I heard your cw call  ( my cw is very poor! ) on 2mtrs last night but many many stations were calling and it was a bit hectic at this end.Thanks for trying and a very merry Christmas to you and yours.
