Title: K1GUP - PE1MPH qso AM
Post by: pe1mph on April 14, 2015, 12:15:11 PM
Hello AM Lovers,

This afternoon I were listening first to Ten mtrs.
But on that band I heard total nothing...

Later I listen to 15 mtrs. and I heard Jerry (often) calling on 21430 khz in AM.
Therefore I run to my studio... and tuning the wire 1:1.
But Jerry were gone, I did not heard him anymore.
I wait and wait and around 16.45 I heard him again.
Quick I mentioned my call and he heard me.

After his qso with? we had a short nice talk (16.55 hour by me):
- 21430 K1GUP, Jerry, S0 to S7, many fading

Later I heard him talking with Aldo?
But Jerry signal were only S3 anymore....

We made our transmission not to long...
Conditions were going up and down on 15 mtrs.
I used again only +/-10 Watts from the Yaesu FT 901 DM
Antenna a longwire +/- 25 mtrs long.

Jerry thanks for the nice qso,

Henk, PE1MPH

NOW: 18.20 I still can hear a station on AM on 21430 but very weak ;)

And NOW: 18.55 I hear another talker in AM (CT1EC?) on 21430, only S2 ;)

Hello AM Lovers,

And NOW: 18.55 I hear another talker in AM (CT1EC?) on 21430, only S2 ;)

And....
Yesterday evening around 19.30 hour I listen shortly in our livingroom.
I heard an AM station 'calling & talking' on 21430 khz!
Signal were not strong, but I am sure his call starts with K1 (Jerry?).

So yesterday the conditions were very good on 15 mtrs! ;)
