[Meteor-Scatter] DF2ZC's Perseid Report

[DF2ZC]

Hello All,

This is my Perseid activity list. As many fellow hams I feel like the shower
has
not at all been as powerful in number and length of reflexions as the last
years.
Though, I am pleased with my results...a number of new squares and also a
new MS
ODX with 2131 km. Sadly I didn't copy OH9O from KP48 though I spent a lot of
time
listening on their frequency.

Station activity was much higher due to the benefits of WSJT which made MS
easily
available for new stations and also brought "old" ms stations back. The
teething
problems with some of the newcomers qso procedure sure will go by with time
and
they will learn to keep to the proper rules.

Many thanks for the huge effort the dxpeditions OH9O, OM3KDX, RW3AZ/1,
LZ1BB,
EA3BB/2, RK3PWJ/3, OH9SCL, LA0BY (whom I worked on tropo this time) and
others
put in making rare squares available. The whole MS community appreciates
your
hard work!

73 Bernd
