Somebody tell me about the tornadoes in Edmond.  I heard that it hit the
Valencia Addition down near Quail Springs Mall and then did some damage at
Danforth and Santa Fe.  I used to live in the Homestead Addition at that
intersection.

This past weekend I put in a modest retaining wall to level out the 
front lawn and dress up the drainage 'swoosh' near the street. I still 
have some shovel & rake contouring to do and another 30 blocks or so 
would finish it off nicely, but at the moment it's straight, level, and 
lookin' good.

Late Sunday afternoon I was thinking a little rain to settle in the dirt 
wouldn't hurt a thing. Plan to do some planting this week and the rain 
could help me decide where the final level will be. Yesterday saw 1.66" 
of rain in my part of Broken Arrow... In an hour. Nothing washed out and 
the drainage is working FB, but, from now on I plan to be more careful 
in what I think about. ;)

It was like being in the mother of all car washes for a while.............

Last night on the news at ten they had a spot about the tornado that hit
Edmond.  I got up and got on the computer and looked at the web pages from
the local TV stations, the Edmond Sun, and the Daily Oklahoman.  What I
could glean from them that it hit in the Valencia Addition just north of
Quail Springs Mall and then did some damage at Santa Fe and Danforth in
Edmond and then damaged a substation on Danforth between Santa Fe and Kelly.
I used to live in the Homestead Addition on the northwest corner of Santa Fe
and Danforth.  We built that house in 1996.

Here in southeast Mississippi this morning it is totally dark with heavy
rain but they are saying this afternoon and this evening we could have
severe weather from the front that came through Oklahoma yesterday.  All the
street lights are on and the wind is picking up with lightning moving in.
The NWS radio says heavy rain, hail, and the possibility of tornadoes this
afternoon and this evening.

And here in Lawton we got absolutely nothing.  They
were predicting storms and rain for Sunday thru
Tuesday.  It clouded up some on Sunday, the wind blew,
and it stayed cloudy Monday morning, and the wind
blew, but not a drop of rain.  The sun actually came
out Monday afternoon and it hit 86 degrees.  The stars
were out Sunday night also.

The following is from the ZS8T website:

Good news for the last day of March. Thanks to suitable weather conditions,
SA Agulhas (aka "Red Taxi") reached Marion Island today in the early hours
without any difficulties. This means Petrus ZS8T is now at Marion Island,
where this will be his QTH for at least 12 months.
We'd like to remind the current research team scheduled for 2008/2009 inc.
its leader - Petrus ZS8T) is overloaded with work which has to be completed
in the next few weeks. This is why ZS8T's activity won't start earlier than
end of April.
With regards the above, please keep in mind, especially on April 1st, when
false spots may hit dx-clusters leading to chaos and misunderstandings (as
it already happened with previous Petrus' activity from Bouvet isl).
The beginning of ZS8T's activity will be announced only at ZS8T.net website
as a confirmation you may start chasing one of the most wanted DXCC entities
- Marion Island.
*we hope to have the first pictures of Marion Island (from Petrus) as soon
as possible.
UPDATE: ZS8T spotted today at 16:49z on 14.255.00 was a fake of course.

There was more than one tornado touchdown overall in Edmond. It 
appears thatthere were at least two, though the most severe damage is 
EF2, so as these things go, they were minor. I have heard of no 
injuries. There were others out west but again they were short-lived 
and damage was thankfully minor. Also, no injuries.

Wednesday and Thursday look to be active severe weather days, so keep 
a weather eye out.

I generally consider the low band season to be from
October 1 to March 31, and must say that now that it
is over, this past fall/winter was excellent here for
the low bands.  Here are the new band countries I
worked on each band over that time period:

160m: VP6D

80m: LU, EA6, 4O, OA, VP6D, LZ, V7, FO-P, CE, PZ, T7,
5T

40m: KH2, KH0, VP6D, FO-C 5R, FJ, CP, 5T

30m: VP6D, FO-C, CE, J5, 8P, OA, FJ

I just wanted 1 new band country on 80m to hit 100,
and as you can see, this winter was much better than
that.

It's been a good season for me too.

160 - FO-C, KP2, OE, VP6-D  using my 80 inverted vee.

80 - 3V, 3X, 4L, 4Z, 5A, 5B, 5T, 5W, 8P, 9A, C5, C6, CE, CT3, CX, D4,

Can you tell I concentrated on 80?

30- FO-C, J5, VP6-D

After this season spent filling out 80m, I only have 10m to go for 5
band DXCC.  Started the low band season with only about 40 or so worked
on 80.

The most unusual contact this year was working V51AS on 10m during the
CQWW CW.  Happened during an opening that only lasted about 10 minutes.
Doubt I'll ever see a card from him though.

Great job Doug!  I see that V51AS takes alot of
bashing on the DX cluster for not QSLing, but I have
several cards from him.  I seem to remember them
coming through the bureau, but I do have them. He is
my V5 QSL for 40m and 30m. Could still use them on 80,
as well as VK on 80!

You will probably get a card from V51AS as I have him confirmed 80-10
meters. He is very active and I have worked him 33 times.

I got this from QRZ.com

 

"Hello all,


I will be departing St. Helena island in late June & travel to my next
DX location of Tristan da Cunha island. My callsign on Tristan will be
ZD9X. The Tristan will last 4 - 6 months, maybe longer. A home has been
secured for myself with a backyard measuring one acre. Plenty of room
for antennas as ZD7X.

Operating from St. Helena has been rather fun. I will be excited for a
new DX location after all is said & done though. Full story to come out
someday!!!

With almost 35,000 QSO's now, the radio & vertical antenna have been
doing a good job. I DO NOT want to have to break out the spare radios of
a Kenwood TS-2000 & a Yaesu 100D if something should go wrong with my
main "good" radio. 

Once on Tristan, my plan is to explore a way of getting to Bouvet island
& to operate from there before a TENATIVE operation to the three islands
of South Sanswich, South Orkney & South Georgia via the Falkland
islands. 

According to the 100 Most Needed List, (2006) Bouvet is ranked at 8th in
the world. It would be a crying shame to be less than 1400 miles from
Bouvet and not to give a 100% effort to try to put Bouvet on the air.
Bouvet is located nearest to Tristan than any other island. 

Still no plans of any RTTY/PSK activity as either ZD7X or ZD9X. My
MicroHam unit that should allow Digi operation has not worked since I
got here. Personal interest the Digi modes is also not that great.



Good DX,



Tom ZD7X"

I'd like some band/mode counters from Bouvet...worked them once in '89.
But the others would be all time new for me, too.  Sure hope he can pull
it off!

David N5UV came from Texas to run the 2008 OK QSO Party and has made a 
couple of videos of his exploits.

They can be viewed at youtube.com using the subject OK QSO Party

Notice the introductory background music he selected on the # 2 video.  I 
had similar lyrics in mind as the engine
in the van was coming apart on last year's run!

Did anyone hear or work YK9G Wednesday?  I could use
them for #313.  I was busy enough with work that I
didn't get much radio time Wed.

Along a kind of related note, there was a 80m QSL from
SP7GIQ in the mailbox on Monday, which gives me 100
confirmed on 80m and 5BDXCC!  I must say how amazed I
am about that.  I never thought I would get 100
countries on both 40m and 80m running 100 watts to a
homebrew G5RV type antenna that is much too low, but
it happened!

Way to go John. At least you still have some wires in
the air. Mine are still on the ground. This weather is a
royal pain. 5BDXCC is next on the agenda here if the
weather ever allows for some climbing. Congrats.

Way to go John!  You are the man!  I know how frustrating 80 meters can be.
I think I had 120 worked before I got my 100th card on 80 meters and it took
over two years to get that 100th card.  I sat at 99 confirmed forever!  Way
to go, Dude!  Congratulations!!!

Thanks Ross.  Took 28 years to accomplish it, but now

challenge going on.

Congrats on the 5BDXCC!  That is quite an accomplishment with 100 watts
and wire antenna!  :-)

THanks Coy.  Now I do use a small yagi or mini quad
for the 20-10m, although I do think that I got over
100 on 20m before getting the directional antennas.
The DX cluster has sured helped to find new ones on
the low bands!

Has anyone been able to hear the YK9?  I need them on several bands but
haven't been able to hear them at all.  Seems they are quite active but
the only spots I see are from Europe.

Hi Coy,

I was just wondering the same thing.  They do not seem
to be picking bands and times that favor W5 land.

In addition to the YK9G operation Saad N5FF will be back for his yearly  
business trip from 4/20 to 5/2.
 
He favors 40 cw and is usually most workable around 0200-0300z.
 
I'm hoping for a shot on 80 from the 9G guys but not sure if I'll hv a  
chance. I think 160 will be a lost cause .................

Coy:

You had better go and check your coax, someone might have "Pinned" your
coax, HiHi!  The Solar Flux is down to 68 so propagation is not good at all.
The best band for you to work YK9G is 40 meters between 0030Z and 0330Z.

I attaching a propagation table below from your QTH to Syria.  It does not
look good at all. I hope you guys can pick them up on the bands you need but
conditions are not in your favor.  I would love to get a lot of band fills
myself. I only have it confirmed on 40 CW.  But I do not think I will have
much of a chance with my "BB-Gun Station".  Good Hunting!

Why is it that people only go to counties I need (like
YK, FR/G, BS7) at the sunspot minimum.  I think the
path from OK will be better for VK9W, fortunately.

Message-ID: <cfb.2e9c393c.3530e796@aol.com>

- Saad, N5FF will  be active  as  YK1BA from Damascus,  Syria from   21
April to  2  May.  He plans  to operate  at least  3-4 hours   a  day
(between  20-23 UTC, 2-5 UTC and possibly some occasional  activities
between  12-14 UTC)  on 10-80  metres CW,  SSB and  RTTY. Given   the
current band  conditions and his operating times, he thinks he   will
spend most of his  radio time on 30, 40 and 80 metres. QSL via N5FF.

Saad has made this trip for business yearly for at least the last 4 yrs. So  
if prop condx this yr are similar to a black hole all may not be lost in a  
couple yrs if Saad continues his current schedule................

According to their website, the current stats with zone 4 are:

17m - 30 q's
20m - 105 q's
30m - 10 q's
40m - 8 q's
80m - 9 q's

I haven't even heard them yet.  :-(

Hi Coy and all,

Just got my e-mail opened up after a few days.

Have heard the YK on 80, 40, 20, and 17.  Very weak in all cases except 20. 
We should know more about how Zone 4 is doing with them if / when they 
update the log.

Never heard them here.  Did anyone other than Bob-K5SM
work them?

Does anyone have propagation software that can predict
the best bands and times for FR/G next month?  I think
the propagation predictions on their website was based
on conditions a few years ago when they were supposed
to have gone originally.

John:

It looks like 40 meters around 0300Z is about your best bet.  It does not
look like there will be good propagation during that time from your QTH.  I
created a propagation chart for your location with a Solar Flux of 70 and a
K-Index of 2.  This is what it looks like, sorry:

John,

I may have worked them last night around 11pm on 30 meters.  They sent my
call and report.  I sent their report but I never heard him QSL that. 
I'll check the logs in a day or two and see if I was logged.

Coy, were they still active last night? I had thought
that they went QRT by then, but congratulations on
that!  Was it a new band country?

Thanks Alan,  WIll keep that for reference. I would
have thought that 20 meters would have better
propagation that it looks.  I have worked 3B8CF on 40
and 30 in the past year or so, so it can be done from
here-now to just get through the pileups!

John,

Yes, I needed them on 30, 80, 12 and 10.  We really had no props on any of
these bands.  They shut down at their sunrise.

This is very telling on what propagation has been like the last couple
of weeks

 

Total # of QSO's with CQ zone 4 for all bands is 403, based on the
current online log.  Don't know if they've uploaded the last of it or
not.  Now I don't feel so bad about not working them!

good sig beamed toward 5 land. 
 
He should be an easy get on 40 around 0300z.

Message-ID: <c10.31481b09.3537ab01@aol.com>

For yrs and yrs I thought I had bagged and confirmed Christmas Island, Then  
a couple yrs ago when the League would send you a complete list of all the  
countries and the bands worked for the countries that had confirmed for you I  
noticed that VK9/X was never credited. 
 
So, while it took mos, I dug through my shoe boxes of cards and finally  
found my Christmas Island card from the 70's. I continually kept submitting the  
card and hving it rejected.
 
I finally was informed that there actually were 2 Christmas Islands. The  one 
I wrked in the 70's is credited now as T30, Western Kiribati.
 
I hv been waiting now for 2 or 3 yrs for someone to activate VK9/X as it is  
fairly accessible and inhabited. For anyone who need for new or just band 
fills  I offer the following......................
 
VK9X, CHRISTMAS ISLAND (Oceania Adventure DXpedition). Four  operators
will be active from Christmas Island (OC-002) during July for 10  days.
Activity will be on 160-10 meters and possibly 6 meters. They plan  to
have three station active (one with high power, 2 barefoot).  Operators,
with modes of operation and their callsigns are as  follows:
Manuel/CT1BWW (CW/SSB/RTTY/PSK31/SSTV) -  VK9XWW
Juan/EA3GHZ    (CW/SSB)                  - VK9XHZ
Juan/EA45EOR   (SSB/RTTY/PSK31/SSTV)    - VK9XOR
Claudina/EC5BME  (YL - SSB only)        - VK9XME
   FORWARD TO BERNIE AND I BET HE SAYS "BITE ME"
  Pilot stations are: Africa - ZS1AU, Asia -JA8BMK, Europe -  EA4TD,
Ocenia - ZL2AL and VK2CZ, and North America - K4SV. QSL via  EA4URE,
or via the operator's home callsign. The offical Web site  is:

I sent John an email that shows ICEPAC's propagation predictions in
graphical form. It appears that long path might be a better bet. The
vertical angle is quite low (4-10 degrees). If anyone would like a copy send
me a request.

Does anyone have propagation software that can predict
the best bands and times for FR/G next month?  I think
the propagation predictions on their website was based
on conditions a few years ago when they were supposed
to have gone originally.

Guys:

I made some additions to my web page (http://www.n5pa.com) in the DX arena.
On the home page I added a RSS Feed Scroll Box with DXpeditions listed in it
on the right-hand side of the screen.  I also added a DXpeditions Map page.
There is a link to it on the home page near the top in the center.  You can
also get to this by going to the DX tab and taking one of the links.  If
your Outlook or browser supports RSS feeds you can add this to it, also.
You can view the RSS data by going to the DX page and clicking "RSS Feed for
Current & Future DXpeditions".  You can sort it several ways by date and
title and you can link to the RSS feed.  I hope these pages are useful and I
would appreciate any constructive feedback either positive or negative.  As
always, good hunting!

NATIONAL ELECTRONICS HAS 55G FOR 249.18 AND THEY ARE IN KANSAS, I HAVEN'T

ANY BODY HAVE ANY OTHER SOURCES FOR ROHN? I THOUGHT ABOUT ELMO BUT EVERYTIME

        This is very good news for the low bands.  Propagation (and QRN
levels) should be much better in the Fall season.

 "The operation for Glorioso 2008 must be delayed for some weeks.
The commandeer of the south zone of the Indian ocean announced us
due to the fact that important works of facilities will take place on
the island. During two and a half months, at the beginning of June,
shelters anti cyclonic will be built to protect the military personnel
and some equipment for the weather station.

Due to the number of persons who will be on the island during the
same period, we decided--with the military command of force of
the south zone of the Indian ocean--to do this DXp?dition when
these works will be ended.

The exact dates will be define according to the operational occupation
of the military transport in this region but we hope to accomplish this
operation to the end of September or the beginning of October.

This leaves us the time to improve our preparations and, we thank you
all those who contribute to the realization of this plan and firstly the
military authorities of the Reunion island and our financial and equipment
sponsors."

Good to hear from you and glad you are doing okay.  I haven't noticed any
tower growth over your way.  Guess I've been negligent in not sending out

Hi John,

I worked N1YC/VK9X on the 19th on 40.  He must have been just firing up.  He 
was not getting much response at all.  We even chatted for a minute.  Then, 
15 minutes later, he was split with a madhouse after him.

Have not been out to the rig since the 20th, so have not been listening for 
them.

I just went to the local drillpipe supply near 50th and I-35.  It was
several years ago and it was about 65 bucks for a 21 ft stick.  1/4 in think
wall carbon steel that had been enamel coated.  When my tower fell in
December (tree came down on two guy anchors) 8 ft was in the tower and 13 ft
was above it.  The tower bent at the 6 ft (above ground) mark.  The pipe
bent about 30 degrees at the throat of the top section.  The amazing thing
is that all but one section was salvageable!  I attribute this to the mast
taking most of the brunt of the impact with the ground.  A mast of this
caliber is practically a two man lift so I can advise you that a heavy duty
thrust bearing is very important in an installation such as this.  This is
especially true when the tower is only Rohn 25.

The only hard part of using a mast like this was putting it in after the
tower was up!
I used a 17 ft mast in the Gin Pole to stab it in the already erect tower.

Hi Doug,

I have a 23 foot long, 2 inch diameter mast that is chromoly, 1/4 inch thick 
at the top, and triple thick at the bottom.  I do not know (remember) how 
far the triple thickness extends up the mast.  It has antennas for 80 
through 10 (except 30) mounted on it and it has taken some huge winds.  I 
want to recall it cost $400 20 years ago.  That could be faulty memory.  In 
any event, it was expensive, heavy, and good.

Court Finds FCC Violated Administrative Procedure Act in BPL Decision (Apr
25, 2008) -- The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
today released its decision on the ARRL's Petition for Review of the FCC's
Orders adopting rules governing broadband over power line (BPL) systems.

http://pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov/common/opinions/200804/06-1343-1112979.pdf

The Court said, "We grant the [ARRL's] petition in part and remand the rule
to the Commission. The Commission failed to satisfy the notice and comment
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") by redacting
studies on which it relied in promulgating the rule and failed to provide a
reasoned explanation for its choice of the extrapolation factor for
measuring Access BPL emissions."

Congrats Doug!  Just finished mine off a couple of
weeks ago also-80m can sure be tough.  What is the
rarest one you have on 80?  For me, probably 5A
followed by YJ or 3X.

Hmmm...rare ones on 80 - 3B7, 3X, 5B, D4, E4, ZC4 and ZL8 probably top the
list here.

Places worked but no card yet - 4L, 5T, J5 and OH0 and a host of lesser
entities.

I could use the E4 on any band-that is a nice 80m
catch.  I guess I have JD1 also which is kind of rare,
and EM1HO from Antarctica.  Waiting for the 5T qsl as
well.

I recall the effort on a QSL card for Campbell Island on 80.
Took 2 years. Help from NJDXA made the difference.
That was 20 years or so ago. Like it's said "80's a tough
band". Interesting how we are able to recall our challenges
isn't it? hi

That's good news. I have a Sigma 80 and it's an excellent antenna. 
However, Force 12 support was pretty poor and their construction 
manuals leave a bit to be desired. And their web site is simply 
awful.  Here's to the resurrection of a well-deigned, high-quality product!
