[Meteor-Scatter] more than 2500kms ?

[Holman Tamás]

GM Steffen and MS friends,

I highly appreciate your experiment with Ralph, and I am really sorry if you feel that HA stations disturbed you.

I was one of the "intruders". I heard someone calling CQ using 4X1IF callsign. I gave a few calls to 4X1IF without any answer. I stopped calling because it was not realistic for me to copy Ralph S1-S3 for minutes. Yes, there were some other HA stations who did the same. And I stopped because I felt someone is kidding with us.

However Steffen, if I had heard your callsign together with 4X1IF I would have never called 4X1IF at all. Maybe your QSO technique misled me and my friends so blaming us is not fair.

For me YM3XC was the best QSO at 01:08. I listened for his operation during the shower several times, and it was amazing how Andrea worked with all of us. Thank you and congratulations for his effort and great success!

Just after the sked was 10min running a HA5 stn was calling 4X1IF
followed by another and another - at all 7 different stns and
very strange also a vy wellknown EMEer was one of the disturbers.

Note they never could copy 4X1IF since they called him in his
TX-periode. They always start to call after my bk and easy could
find out by QTF that the sign never came from Israel.
