Hello,

 

Perhaps the DL’s are just more active... this year I have worked on SSB/CW HS, 4X, FR, ZS, HZ, V55, PY, 5B4, 9K2, TR8, ST, and yes a few DL’s too so other countries are active... As I was switching off tonight GU6EFB was working a PY.

Paul,   Agree most users seem to be German but I have heard one South American and a smattering of British.  Some Italians and other Europeans but are few and far between.   Is it because QO-100 is an Amsat -DL project ?

 

I’ll get back on the satelite soon, been rather busy.

 

Regards,   Colin de G8LBS.

Nick, I listened in this morning using the Goonhilly SDR. Heard you working several stations.
Is there a reason netting on the satellite is so bad? Some stations off by a kHz. Tx/Rx
Also interesting that apart from you, almost everyone on there was speaking German.
I was amazed in the hour I listened, to hear so few stations. SDR showed quite a few "odd" carriers, sweeps, blobs, but as I said, apart from you, the only other stations heard were from Germany.
With such a big chunk of the globe covered, I found this a bit odd.
Perhaps it livens up at other times.
What do others hear?
