Title: K1GUP - K1KW am qso PE1MPH
Post by: pe1mph on October 26, 2013, 01:00:53 PM
Hello AM Lovers.

This afternoon I had again a qso in AM with the USA!
First, +/- 13.50 GMT London time, with: K1GUP Billy on 29040 in AM.
He has mostly S9 by me with a little fading.
No he did not falling from his chair, when I told him:
'I am using now only 8 Watts comming fromt the Yeasu FT 901 DM'.

Later I heard on 29000 Tuck K1KW talking with Cor PA0AM in AM.
Hi, hi... I could hear sometimes 'Uncle Cor' from the S-W Netherlands talking.
I wait.... and after their qso I did cq, but Tuck worked first another station.
No problem I wait again... hi, hi, Tuck must be a gentelman!
He asked: if the other station were still standby!!
He did heard me and we had a nice & long qso, time around 14.15 GMT time.
Tuck were very strong by me, often het S-meter standing in the red...
His signal were between S7 and S9 +5.
Totaly no problem to hear him on 29000 in fine AM modulation.

Below two recordings, but it sounding a bit low.
Sorry, I made it direct from the Yeasu FT 901 DM.

K1GUP & K1KW thanks for the fine qso! :)
