[Meteor-Scatter] Perseids Report of S55AW

QSP from Stanko,

(you used a wrong address to post to the list)

Hello,

as I have been away for a week report is "just" a little bit late.

I only had 24 hours available this time. As usually during main showers I
was QRV from JN75DS, 1268m asl.

After 6 tries in last three years finally complete QSO with Clive, GM4VVX.
We were lucky with 30s burst on SSB as HSCW sked few hours prior was NC
because of QRM from PA-SV stations using the same frequency. Who said that
HSCW is dead, hi! NIL in sked with RK3PWJ but found them later on random.
Nice reflections from LA8G on SSB(2050km) but couldn't get rogers from them
through pile up. FSK frequency they used was to close to .370. Nice
reflections also from other expeditions: sk5cr/3, lz1bb/p and ea3bb/2 and,
of course, from la0by/p. On long distance skeds (sm2ilf, sm2cew and oh8nxe;
all over 2100km) few pings were heard but all QSOs NC.

Due to non-stop CQ-ing on .370 in 1st period by ha5kdq any QSO towards East
was impossible for more than 15 hours. This was really disappointing. It is
evident that only one calling frequency for FSK is not enough (at least not
in central EU).

In the morning on 13th Aug G7RAU has been worked as s first G station ever
on tropo from jn75ds.
