DX Super Sunday 26th August 2007

The band was very flat today here in Scotland. I did monitor 27.555 for most of the day but not a single call sign noted. I did give a couple of calls so at least I can say I tried.

All in all very disappointing but there's always next time.

Sunday 19th August 207

Was only able to work the band for a short while due to other commitments but did manage one contact. Conditions dropped off on the band not long after I started which was a little disappointing, but that's radio!

Station Worked:
14AT255 Henri @ 0745 UTC on 27.625

France was booming in again plus a few German Stations. Also noted a couple of 108 divisions: 108AW047 & 108ON01.

DXing Sunday 19th August 2007

Will be heading out too the hills shortly, hoping for some nice DX conditions. Conditions on the band were nice yesterday but I was busy with other things, always the way.

Today I will be working mobile with the Ranger 2950DX and the Sirio Hypower 4000.

I will report back later report (if there is anything TOO report).

Cheers

Was on the 11 meter band again this morning but conditions were very challenging, still that's what this hobby is about.

Stations I worked:
14AT144 (Eric) on 27.540 @ 0855 UTC a short QSL as Eric found my accent a bit challenging, sorry about that Eric.


13DX059 (Simon) on 27.485 @ 1140 UTC but his signal was lost while confirming call signs.

Plenty French stations booming in for a while then a few German stations, nothing from 26 division noted.

Skip Today 16/8/07

Made my first DX contact today with 26TM212 (Paul) in East Sussex. Conditions were fairly good this morning with 26 divsion booming in for a while.

Lets hope for more of the same in the coming days.

Cheers for the advise Paul and good to talk with you.

A little skip today 15/8/07

The last few days have been dead here so it was good to note a little skip on the band today at around 1500 UTC.

Callsigns noted:
14GT016
16AT285
16IR692

Plenty other stations calling on 27.555 but QRB was terrible and made things difficult.I gave a few calls but failed to get a response, better luck next time.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog, hope you enjoy looking around. I am a radio enthusiast and am located in the Scottish Highlands. Most of my time is spent mobile working the 11 meter "freeband" (26-28MHz).

I am currently using the Ranger RCI-2950DX radio which is connected to a sirio high power 4000 antenna. The radio has been professionally modified to work the 10, 11 and 12 meter bands, the standered 2950DX does not cover the 11 meter band.

I am a member of the Tango Mike DX Club and I use the call sign "108TM096" so if you hear me on the air please give me a shout.
