CQ CQ CONTEST

« Reply #25 on: May 10, 2007, 12:24:19 PM »

Still heard here in NJ  some 10 M SSB activity around 1 AM this morning, 5/10. Signals weren't as strong as earlier, but there was still a number of QSO's going on. Around the same time, 6M was showing lots of signs of scatter with signals bursting in and out of the noise.

On another reflector, Gary, N3JPU, reported working these guys on 6 yesterday.
Several countries worked here from FM19 today

10's still open to 4-land and 5-land from here in 9-land. I just worked a station on SSB.  I used my Kenwood TS-820 for the QSO.  I figured the 6146Ws needed workout. Gonna have to replace the 12BY7A driver though.  I get about 135W on 160-20 with the rig, but I was only getting 70W or so on 10.  That's usually a sign the driver is going (I replaced the finals last year).  I'm gonna try a little AM around 28.800 for the next 10 minutes or so.

Looks like 10 is moving right along. Made a bunch of 4 and 5 land slopbucket contacts on a 100w ricebox, not too bad. Had the junkston 500 idling, but didn't hear any AM at all. Better luck next time i guess.

edit: hey, this is post number 300, did I win anything?

I just had an AM QSO with Mark, K3MSB about 10 minutes ago on 29.010.  Both of us were using the riceboxes (him the IC-746, me the FT-897D).  The path was unstable, with some fast QSB that cause both of us to go from S9 to nothing several times.  I finally lost him about 10 minutes ago.  Mark is thinking of setting the DX-100 on 10, now that it's showing some propogation.  I've gotta work on the Cheyenne tomorrrow.  10 is still open (I'm hearing SSB sigs  down below 28.450).  It looks like KC, KB2WIG is on 29.010, so I'm going to 29.020, to minimize QRM.  Thanks for answering my call, Mark.  Smiley

10s still open.  But it's spotty and unstable.  Signals are fluctuating.  I'm hearing a repeater on 29.620 ( l listened to a 2-lander using it).  SSB is still coming in.  I have a noise source on 29.020.  I'll be calling right on 29.000, it's quieter for me there.

Hi,
Every Sunday at 2000 Hours Zulu myself and a few friends, locally here south of Boston,
get on 29.039 Mhz AM for a rag chew. It would be interesting if some of you could work us.
We will be listening hard!

I tried to get on 10M yesterday afternoon but my aerial just seems to have too much reactance. I put the ricebox on with the auto tuna, just to see if I could hear any activity, and nothing. I went down to 15M with the same results. 20M was sparsely active. The last time I got on 10M AM (and this will be turning the clock back) I had an endearing (and loooong) QSO with Ozona Bob. He gave me a dissertation on receivers, specifically the HQ-100 I was using at the time.Wink

Hi Mark. 

Yeah, that was starting to turn into a nice long QSO, when 10 went south on us.  Bummer!   Both 10 and 6 have been toast since yesterday.  20 even sounds dead.  I briefly heard a weak one on 10 SSB in the morning yesterday, and that's been it.  I even tried the 6m Sprint last night - all I heard and worked, were a couple of weak locals.  I just checked the NOAA radar map - the weather's quiet all across the US. There are thunderstorms, but none of them are severe (the severe ones, are the ones that send sprites shooting up to the E-layer, which they think are one of, if not the major cause of Sporadic E).  The solar flux numbers are very low again, hence the reason why 20 is sounding like 10.  Oh well,  I think I'll work on the Cheyenne.

Would love to, but can't today due to Mother's Day activities.
Yeh I had to curtail my HAM activities also because of Mothers Day and also my wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary.

But we get on 29.039 every Sunday at 2000 hrs zulu so if you remember listen for us as
we would love to work someone outside the local area.
