Tony (G4LDL) #159 The SSB session was strange with lots of huge QSB. G4FZN in IO94 was a good signal all evening. I was called by 2 French stations and a PA but I didn't hear a whisper from GD or GM, nor did I hear anyone else working them. Unusual since I can normally hear one of the GDs even if I can't work them. Wonder if my location was too high and it was ducting lower down!

My IC7000 - and my power meters were arguing about my o/p : set to 35w but reading 15w on fm and similar on ssb with compression! ..... Another fine job it's got me into !! In the circumstances, I was very pleased to work 13 in the fms with my in-loft collinear - all but YCC in IO91 ! I was even more contented to work yet another 13 on SSB using a 10m high 9 ele. ... especially when this list included a GD8 and an F1. That doesn't equate to 15w from "town" unless condx were up! The odd bit was that I only managed Tony from the local crew! I will submit the log tomorrow. 73 all Acme
