Comment on contest NAC Microwave Contest de SK7CA Rain and SWR >10 but tried with QA anyhow and i to my surprise I could here him and when I got control of the manual PTT switching we finally made a QSO. Only limited CQ mostly against SM1 beacuse of the high SWR. BEI was not possible i thought but tried and could here something and after a while got a QRZ, next time he was really strong and coulde read me and after a while we manage to get a QSO. MW, ECM and NJC were no problems. I checked SWR again, 30W out gave 25W back, so somehow the "5 Watts" made the QSOs ! / 73 Tommy _______________________________________________________________________ Contest: NAC Microwave Contest Call: SK7CA Section: A Loc : JO86DQ Date: 20011016 -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Band | TOTAL | QSO-POINTS | BAD | LOC-POINTS | QRB KM | | 1.3G | 2663 | 5 1463 | 0 | 4 1200 | SM3BEI 513 | -------------------------------------------------------------------- Station description : 1.3G : FT-726, Parabolic X-verter, 1,55m Parabol 35mAGL. ----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G---- DX Date Time Call Loc Bnd Mod QRB QTE 1 20011016 2032 SM3BEI JP81NG 1.3G CW 513 5 2 20011016 1831 SM5QA JO89WJ 1.3G CW 316 17 3 20011016 1950 SK7MW JO65MJ 1.3G CW 249 236 4 20011016 1946 SM7ECM JO65NQ 1.3G CW 226 242 5 20011016 2038 SM1NJC JO97DO 1.3G CW 159 49 Worked Locator JO65: 2 JO89: 1 JO97: 1 JP81: 1 JO97: 1 Worked DXCC SM : 5 Heard Station ----------------------------------------------------------- LOGGER 1.10 (http://welcome.to/logger) by Ulf/SM0LCB
