[Meteor-Scatter] EA5/DF2ZC MS Report

Hello All,

Below please find my QSO report from my this years's holiday in Spain.
Equipment was a Kenwood TS2000, 4CX250B with some 300 watts in FSK441, 9 ele
TONNA and a MGF1302 at the antenna. Cable was just 7m AIRCOM+. You may soon
find some JPGS on my home page www.df2zc.de

Just some comments:

I worked random most of the time, the few skeds or tailenders are marked
with S or TE. Whilst on Random I couldn't understand why some people
continued calling me over long periods though I was replying for another
callsign and had not yet completed. This made some QSOs take more time than
necessary.

Also enterring a report together with both callsigns when replying to my cq
call would have speeded up some QSOs. According to MS procedures this is
permitted and also logical - if you really heard me and not called only
because of a cluster message. FSK441 has such a high throughput that even in
short pings all these data come through.

I am certain that in HSCW instead of FSK441 only less than 50% of the QSOs
would have been completed, particularly not the QSO with OZ1IEP when
reflexions very very short.

Sorry for those not worked. Anyway, in case you need the JM08 grid don't
worry: EA5/DJ4UF (http://www.qsl.net/dj4uf/) will stay in JM08BR from now
until the mid of May next year. Eckart works with a 11 elements F9FT and has
a wonderful takeoff from about 35 degrees through East to at least 215
degrees. As his house is about 300 m high on the slope of a hill the vhf
situation is by far better than mine in JM08CR (which wasn't bad at all)
with just 40 m above sealevel. Eckart will frequently call CQ and is also
happy to make skeds. You can email him at [email protected], but please
plain text only and as short as possible as he collects his emails on Pactor
via HF at slow data transfer rates.

I left my amplifier with him so he has some 300 watts now. I may only need
the small PA again in automn 2003 for my next holiday, possibly in JM76. I
also left my portable 9 ele F9FT with him, together with my MGF1302. DJ4UF
may activate some squares in EA over the next few months.

QSLs with SASE to my address in QRZ.COM or via club.
