Lady & Gentlemen

The 24*4WL xpol 70cm array is finished.  A lot of work, 6 hrs sleep in 3.5 
days..., but very nice to see them up in the sky:-)

Results are not good, though. Sun noise many db's lower vs the past, and 
echoes also. Everything is correct, swr match is perfect, but too much noise 
and seriously bad sidelobes, especially in H pol. I do not know if there is 
any new qrm source around my qth, however i was expecting poor sidelobes due 
to the additional 1wl inner yagis overstacking, due to mechanical 
limitations.

In anycase, on Sunday i will be qrv for DUBUS 70cm cw May activity periods, 
on random, as follows:
0500-0700 & 1200-1400. Pls look for me.

The weekend of 10/11 I will be qrv for European EME Contest 23cm section, 
and then I am leaving for Latin America for 1.5 month on qrl.

Looking forward to hear you,
