Andaman & Nicobar Islands VU4RBI On The Air Now
 

Andaman & Nicobar Islands VU4
At 1903Z they were tx on 14.190 listening DOWN at 14.180 MHz

Now where is that linear I stored away (;-)

You may need that linear. Running 1500 watts and a four-element quad I
had a rough time but finally made it. Switching to a dipole, I could
barely hear them. QTH here is So California.

Lucky! Here in NYC, with 9 elements up 125' (Cushcraft X9) they were
completely inaudible. Not a whisper. Sigh.

The worst DX-pedition operation I have seen in many years, even worse
than VK0MM.

Gee, where have we heard that before? EVERY DXpedition was the worst
DXpedition ever - according to the guys who didn't werk 'em. But the
good news is that every DXpedition was the BEST DXpedition ever -
according to the guys who did werk 'em.... Go figure.

VK0MM was a good operator, it seems you were not. Apart from that, VK0MM was
not a DXpedition.

I don't think so, I think that he made a complete idiot of himself from
Macquarie Is.
I spent hours and hours listening him on HF bands, he invented idiotism
on the bands.

Yes, you were right, it wasn't DX-pedition, but he was rather pretty
active from Mcq Is.

And I don't understand why are you refering to me as not having been a
good operator.

It sure beats any other VU4 operation in the past ten+ years.

Can't even hear em on my vertical in So Cal
Linear now on standby (;-)

Sure hope for some CW and the use at their end of better antennas. Here in
MI, nothing at all has been heard on any frequency. Have a rural noise
level and high antennas. Not one signal that could be identified as having
come from VU4. Once, I heard what turned out to be someone else.

Propagation calculations show peaks at 14 GMT, 20 GMT and 24 GMT.

In USA, East coast and West coast have a much better chance of working
VU4 than the middle of the Republic.

I too hope that Bernie is right.
