Title: Ready for AM on Ten
Post by: pe1mph on September 24, 2015, 11:02:33 AM
Hello AM Lovers,
Some weeks I fixed the broken leg from the dipole (2x 25 mtrs).
Last year I had many qso's on Ten with 'only one leg'!
I tuned the swr 1:1 between earth and one leg....

Some weeks ago the dipole is hanging again complete.
Just I have tuned mu FT 901 DM for 15 & 10 mtrs.
All band I can tune my dipole 1:1 and +/- 10 Watts.

So I am ready for again such nice AM qso's...
I will monitor for example 29000 khz next weeks!


Till soon in AM,

Hi!

I'm monitoring 29.030 MHz quite frequently.
Henk, when can I expect you to have your ears open, any specific time?

Hi, hi....
Mostly first I monitoring the repeater on 29620 in our livingroom.
When I hear there stations talking, then I listen often on +/- 29000 in AM in my studio.
Some told me 29000 is an AM calling freq. for Ten?
But for me no problem to monitoring evenso 29030!

Last season I have worked many, many stations on Ten in AM.
With my old Yeasu FT 901 DM and only +/- 10 Watts.
Often I could not believe my little signal from a piece of wire....
Is comming in to the USA, Canada, Spain, Portugal, France, UK, Poland, Italia, Russia, Greece and Malta! ;D
