April OM Activity Contest came out in the dates of the Remata meeting and Drozdovo, what has apparently signed under a lower participation in the race. And he was missing Karol OM5KP (Om9ot), who did not compete, but attended regularly. Unfortunately, It will be missing permanently…
I start on the bottom edge, but in view of the conditions of spreading, QRP performance and above written reasons many stations do not call. There are distinct differences in the power of signals more than usual. After five minutes, the kilohertz tune in tune the station, that apparently does not hear me. Since there is nowhere to go, So I start tune in with the bands and collect connections. I find a free frequency at 3767 KHZ and so I try again on the challenge.
You will read:
The difference in noise threshold at 80m
Compare the differences in receiving the same station in February and April:
OK2DC in February
OK2DC in April
On my side is used inverted in the antenna and Yaesu FT-1000MP Transceiver with the same setting. In reception to see the difference even if the OK2DC signal is in a similar force.
