Dave VK0MT was on last night at 0900 Utc on 14.185.00, a lot of QRM and so went to 40 meters to 7.085.00 and worked VK, ZL, BA, JA. Will move to 14.245.00 at 10:00 UTC tonight because of all the VU stations around 14.185.00 passing traffic etc. Dave's QSL Manager will be Masa JE1LET, Dave will send logs to Masa and a nice Picture of the Island for the QSL card. Dave is using Icom 706 Automatic Antenna tuner and two antenna's, 45 meter long-wire and a 5 meter vertical whip antenna at the hut he is in at the moment. When he goes back to the main base he will have better antennas. He will also be able to work PSK and some 2 meter Meter contacts into VK and ZL when he returns to the base. He has only been a ham for a year and his CW is as good as mine Hi Hi. So will only make a few contacts on CW. I have given Dave VK0MT Freq for some nets like the Southern-Cross DX net on 14.239.00 +- at 11:00 UTC, W7PHO net on 14.245.00 at 14:00, The ANSA net on 14.183.00 0515.The 247 net on 14.247.00 at 21:00 If you have other nets that Dave can join let me know Freq and times. With Dave's low power and small antennas the nets maybe the best way hams can work him. Dave will be on the Island till the end of March then returns home to VK3 land. Again Dave was able to copy 99% of the stations that called him on 20,40, and 80 meters. Dave can work 160 meters but only with the long-wire antenna, when he gets back to the main base he will have better antennas for all the bands, he is at the hut for another day before returning to the main base. Will see if Dave can move up into the USA area on 40 meters, maybe some one can let those hams on 7.153.00 know that Dave can hear them there and he can move up into the American ham band on 40 meters. May see if he can get on the HHH net on 7.235.00. around 0730 Remember that there are a lot of radio broadcast stations on 40 meters so it maybe hard for Dave to hear you unless the Freq is clear and you have big ears. Only station I heard on 20 meters last night was a W6 station but he did not call back when Dave was on so guess no Prop to Dave. Seems at the moment only VK, ZL, JA, BA, DU and some South America stations can hear Dave. During the day time when he has had time he has listen on the ham bands and only hears some VK stations on. Hope this helps 73's and Regards Victor Rivera ZK1CG and ZK1USA Po Box 618 Rarotonga Cook Islands Via New Zealand email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 40 meters seems to be the Best band I can hear Dave on Posted by K1XN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://golist.net/ MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
