21 February
Tried a test with ZS5LEE 3.7m dish and 10W. Lee did not hear me, and
suspects tree blockage and pointing accuracy may have been the problem…
maybe with a better window and more power at Lee’s end it will be possible.
Activity Weekend and SSB Contest
All QSO’s SSB except those with reports which were CW.
I made 21 x SSB QSO’s and 4 x CW/SSB QSO’s for a total score in the SSB contest of 11 x 45 = 495 points (provisional to be checked), plus 4 x CW only non counting QSO’s
Gotaways were WB5AFY, & F5HRY.
