A Team of AD6E Al, G3KHZ Derek, CT1AGF Luis, K6MYC Mike and W5GAI
Skip will activate the very rare DXCC P2, Papua New Guinea
LATEST NEWS from Joop, PA0JMV, dated 2008-10-23 07:30:
Mike finally showed up on 144.125 on Oct 22 after his moonrise.
He worked KB8RQ, W7GJ, W7IUV , maybe more. I started listening at
the beginning of the groundgain lobe at my moonrise, today Oct 23.
First sigs (-25dB) showed up at 00:28 while he was sending OOO for
RA6AX. His signals were fast drifting, so he must have switched
on at athat time, later the sigs were stable. I saw him calling-
working IK1UWL, DL8YHR but NC, DK3BU, I2RV, DF2ZC, PA0JMV, ES6RQ
and then I went to bed again after some 45 minutes of excitement.
My groundgain had ended as well. His best sigs were about -24dB
but KB8RQ mentioned problems with the big PA in P29, so he must
have used his spare 350w brick. Mind the high values of DPOL for
the EU-window, that makes it complicated! 73 Joop ... as well
got the info pe1l sm5cui ra6ax oz1lpr dl8yhr and vk2ku shall be
complete meantime (ed DL8EBW)...
