The link in my signature points to my log, updated every 5 minutes. Nothing spectacular heard, just a few new bandpoints. 73, -- Fabian Kurz, DJ1YFK * Dresden, Germany * http://fkurz.net/ Last 50 QSOs: http://dl0tud.tu-dresden.de/~dj1yfk/log.html |

West Germany at the time. I could only LISTEN on 160. It is good to see you can use the band like it should be. 73, Dan/W4NTI |

Dan/W4NTI "Thank you for your support". ;-) Operating a 160 meter contest from 12 degrees North of the equator is a challenge, and tolerance for noise is a must! There were storms in the area during the contest weekend, although things were much quieter the week before. From Signal Point in Curacao (PJ2T), I worked 1128 QSOs, 59 State+Prov, and 57 DXCC countries. 1.3 million points claimed. Currently, it's the #2 claimed score (after VY2ZM). WAS and WAC first night, but the coutnry total was down 23 below my goals. QSO total was down 300 from my goal. ************************************************** * Station: Signal Point, Curacao (www.pj2t.org) Station Equipment: Transceiver: FT-1000MP Amplifier: Cary LK-800 (2 x 3CX800A7) (Backup station FT-1000MP & Alpha 76CA) TX Ant: Inv-L (50-feet vertical, sloping up to 95-feet, ~60 radials) RX Ant: 1000-foot Beverage (Europe) 650-foot Beverage (USA/JA) Flag (VK/Pacific) Flag (South America) PJ2T QSL Via: N9AG or LOTW ************************************************** * 73, Jeff K8ND (PJ2/K8ND and opr, PJ2T) |

I struggled with S7 power line buzz (which was not there as recently as the CW NAQP) the first night and part of the second, then the buzzing stopped when a rain shower moved in around midnight Saturday. Condx seemed quite good with a few Europeans pushing close to S9; OK5W stands out as the big signal. Time to hunt down the arcing power line I guess. -- Ray WQ5L |

I was only running 500 out to a "U" antenna, literally thrown over a Hickory tree beside the out building I have my shack in. With the AC return ground as a radial, a 8' copper clad ground rod, and a 200' metal fence. So to hear that, you had something going right. Good job. That's what ham radio is all about......making things work. Dan/W4NTI |

As for the Power Line noise. I've been fighting that ever since I moved in here. About 5 years now. It is a constant battle. Fix one, another shows up. On and On and On. At least Alabama Power is NOW being helpful. Of course I had to get Public Service, FCC and anyone else that would listen on their case. Good luck. You will probably find it is loose or burnt insulators and lightning arrestors and associated hardware. Dan/W4NTI |
