Hi all

I took part in contest category: "Single Operator, Mixed Mode, Assisted"
So I was monitoring N0UK and others chat's but in RX mode ONLY.

Used equipment: (+about 10m long coax):

  144 MHz - FT-847 + preamp MGF1302 in shack + 950W PA + 10el DK7ZB (6m boom)

  432 MHz - FT-847 + preamp MGF1500 in shack + 600W GS31 PA (300W in CW) + 23el dk7zb (6m boom)

1296 MHz - FT847 + preamp MGF1302 in shack + 120W PA + 17dB wifi dish with linear pol. (ring feed)

HRD 419qsb: K9SLQ, N9JIM

More info:

1st pass:
I had good condx EU-EU but very bad EU-NA. I spent 90% of
time in CW and then I was calling in JT65B N9JIM for over 1,5h!
but with 0 result... I wasn't sleeping at all;-) DL9KR (on 70cm) was
strong and I observed very fast qsb on KL6M's signal.


On 2nd pass:
were excellent condx into Japan and bad condx EU-NA, I hrd nothing
from strong stations like AA7A or W0PT. I'm very happy to work 2 new
initials into Japan with JR3REX and 7K3LGC. But why most of JA stations
were running without split? They know that EU stations shouldn't
call them around 090 but.... Some EU stations were also calling
CQ in JT65 on cca 144.080. Why??? And -> JA stations, can you use split
more often? From the same reason I didn't work JM0MHE, JH2COZ,
JM1GSH etc..

..but on the other hand the CW operation used to be mainly inbetween
144.035-144.060 MHz. So don't complain, that DIGI stations are using
frequency above 144.060 when there isn't any CW activity ...
This problem was also the main reason, why I didn't work more CW stations, while
I had big from OK1MS (.048 +-10kHz) & OK1KKD (.042+-25kHz) when they covered
99% of CW segment (sri Jimmy, SV1BTR for our long qso....).

3rd pass: nice condx into W6 via long-path on my Moonrise.
I was calling long time K6KLY (N9JIM) but no answer.. (He was in peek 519).
+ I was calling Mike, K6MYC, but he worked only Uffe, PA5DD
and after his 73 (-23dB) he lost the Moon. SRI. During this pass I heard several CW
stations on 70cm, however I worked only OH2PO.. and last note: pity, that
N9JIM didn't work on 23cm in JT65C...



Conclusion: TNX all for FB random qso's and CU in the next part

73 de Matej, OK1TEH

PS: I'm qrv for any of CW/SSB/JT65/JT4 skeds on 2m/70/23cm (I prefer CW if it's possible)
so pse don't be shy to ask me :-)
