Activity:
Since
the QTH is in a valley, only those modes can be used effective on the
VHF band,
where the direct vision on the other station is not necessary. Because
this, my
activities are primarily in meteor scatting, Es and EME. Unfortunately
in the
last time the making of satelite connections aren’t very
interesting because
only two low orbit satelites are operating, where only European
stations are
available.

I managed
to make the 3Y0X –
South Pole expedition
As usually, I got
up late only to see that all good times for the QSO were engaged by
others.
There was only one option, to try and make it between two engaged
times. The
first day when they will make QSOs was announced to the 13th. Since
that day
the Moon was very low so I left that day. From that day I woke up every
day at
4 o’clock. The first days were terrible. From Tuesday to
Friday I
didn’t even
hear any signals from the 3Y0X. On Saturday morning I saw that my
antenna
rotator is frozen. When the Moon got there where my rotator was looking
I heard
the 3Y0X but haven’t got enough time to make the QSO. On
Sunday I
was already
sitting behind the radio at 4 o’clock. Everything seemed
perfect,
I know it
would be my last chance to make the QSO. The big moment came at 3:44
UT. I
hesitated at first because they give 73 for my first RO and started to
call
other stations. I was eased when I saw my callsign in their database so
I
filled the QSL and sent it. I’m just waiting for their QSL to
arrive. It should
be very nice and very precious for me.

The miracle
occured on 4th of June 2006.
My class E licence arrived. From that day a new session began as my new
callsign states. From 4th of June 2006 my new callsign is:
OM3BC
I’m looking for a little talk with all familiar and unknown amateurs with my new callsign.
The new antenna system is under building. See the pictures.
Tnx for easy QSO:
I wouldn't think it will be that easy to makea QSO with an expedition. In the beginning I was only wathcing the frequency. The strong stations from America came one after another. I thought I haven't got a chance, since it took 10 minutes for K4SV to receive the answer. After a time they realized, K4SV got a big mouth but no ears, so they started to give CQ again. After the second CQ I switched to transmitting, since I can't lose anything from it. The biggest surprise in the day was, I got the OOO right ahead and the RRR after my RO. I don't think I will make another expedition this easily.
The new HF antenna is in place
After long
preparations, my new 5-band HF antenna is in place. At first I
tried a Spiderbeam but I realized pretty fast, it's not a goot choice,
since I haven't got enough room for it. So I built a modified
ReflectedW antenna. The alignment of this went without problems. Maybe
its parameters are a bit worse than the first antenna would have, but
the SWR and the receive of this are both
perfect. I realized, there are stations outside Europe too.
