Title: PE1MPH, IW5EKR/M, M0TNG/M and K1KW on 10 Meters Today
Post by: W1AEX on February 13, 2014, 10:36:46 AM
Lots of signals are present on the band today. There are three short audio air checks below featuring Henk - PE1MPH who is running 8 watts into one leg of his dipole, Aldo - IW5EKR (mobile), Stu - M0TNG (mobile), and a little bit of Chuck - K1KW as heard here via backscatter, complete with propagation echo effects. In spite of the persistent fading it was rare to miss a word with anyone I spoke with. Looks like it's still going strong mid-morning here in the northeast.

Thanks Rob,
I told you I used 2 wire antennas.
1x +/- 25 mtrs long and 1x 50 mtrs long, both end-feeded.
For example:
When your signal were poor on the 25 mtrs ant.
Then I heard you loud & clear on the other ant.!
And: 'contrariwise'.

So I missed no word from your transmission Rob. :)
