ANARTS contest logs roll in
---------------------------
At this date we have now received more contest logs than last
year despite the solar cycle being at a much lower level. Even
though conditions were worse than last year, it shows the way
that radioteletype can still get through in poor conditions.
Don't forget that logs must be in by the beginning of
September. Don't miss out -- you could earn yourself a
certificate for your state, but you have to put in that
entry, and quickly!
-------------------------------------------
More about conditions
Propagation has been quite poor recently, with Clem VK6CW
reporting that he could hear ZL stations working Jim VK2BQS on
20 metres after the broadcast but could not hear Jim to have a
QSO with him. Unfortunately we still have something like
10-12 months to go to the botom of the cycle, so there will be
many more days like that.
I was listening to the WIA repeater the last night and heard
one old timer remark that even now conditions were worse than
last cycle. He said he could always get through on 20 metres
last time, but lately there has been nothing getting through,
and he had heard that the northern hemisphere was suffering
similar problems (this last va satellite packet).
Clem VK6CW has had communication via a HF AMTOR mailbox with
our erstwhile relay officer John G0SPO (ex VK2CFJ). John
appears to have settled in well at his second location (the
first had site restrictions which prevented a tower). John
said that Australia was mentioned in the news because of the
four-year drought over here. At the same time he said that it
rained at his location for the first time in a month. England
is still a bit dry apparently.
and a note from Jim VK2BQS ...
-- And Pat, as a sequel, on Wednesday 24th I managed a very
brief and broken contact with John J., my signal seemed to be
reaching him better than the return as he acknowledged several
of my remarks while I had difficulty making sense of much of
his but at least it was a contact which we both recognised.--
