Hello AM Lovers,Some days ago I found an 'original' wire-antenna for the 11 meterband.
I have bought it many years ago.... but I never used it!
Now it is hanging under the roof upstairs.
SWR on +/- 29.050 nearly 1 : 1 (Inverted V).
This afternoon I did receive evenso with this antenne.
First I heard many constesters on Ten, a pity!
But in the beginning of the afternoon, wintertime now...
I heard
Chuck K1KW calling on 29010 in AM.
While he were calling I take a look to my S-meter (Yeasu FT 901).
I saw his signal comming up to S9 +5 and I note this on paper....
Later we had a qso and I must change the 5 into a 10 (S9 +10)!
After our nice AM qso I listen with the Yeasu FRG 7000.
I heard Chuck talking with Uncle Cor
PA0AM from Holland.
Yes! evenso I heard Chuck with the
INDOOR wire-antenna!
I made a short recording from Chuck, see below.
My friend
FA3FKR tried (after Cor's qso) several times to K1KW to make a qso.
But Chuck did not heard him, ssb contesters blowing all away (I think!).
Thanks for our qso Chuck,
Henk, pe1mph
