Title: Nice talk with Jerry
Post by: pe1mph on April 26, 2022, 03:42:11 PM
Hello AM Lovers,
This evening I were in my studio playing Chess by pc / Internet.
On the background my good old Yaesu FT 901 DM.
Standing on the AM Freq. on 15 meters: 21420

While I played Chess, I heard a man talking....
Around 20:40 hours by me, Summertime
First not strong but later better and better to hear.
A pity, I lost the game :'(

But I were thinking about the name from the man....
So I got the idea to make a qso with him!

I heard only him talking, but I give CQ.
And readers he heard me, gives his call: K1GUP.
And I remember his name: Jerry.
Because we did have in the past some qso's on Ten ánd 15 mtrs. ;)

This evening I talk with him around 21:00 hours (7:00 GMT).
His signal: S1 to max. S5

My old Yaesu gives around 10 Watt
Antenna 2x +/- 33 meters long
One leg nearly horizontale (+/- 15 meter high) and one leg the end hanging to +/- 5 meters.

Great to have such nice qso in AM!!
Jerry thanks for returning for me!!
