First time QRV on RTTY
November 21th. 2006
Bad condx on low bands and to much QRN...80m is hard, 160m impossible.
Afternoon is static so high, that we can't hear anything between 160m and 10m...sad, but this is normal tropical weather.
November 20th. 2006
To much QRN on low bands, so no 160m QSO.
Another problem is the
local QRM from TV sets and transformers (this was worst on 20m und up
last year). The MFJ-1026 Noise canceler was a good choice. It works
well...
November 19th. 2006
We just started 20m and up.
First problem with TVI (the same as last year), but Roman OM2RA found the problem....bingo.
New antenna for 40m (loop) was build. Looks, it works well...
Condx bad...10m-NIL, 12m-NIL.
