MW part of ARRL EME contest |
| We made 27 stations on 3 cm in MW part of ARRL EME contest. It was the first QSO on 3cm for SM2CEW, EA3HMJ and OK1DFC. 15 stations from that 27 can operate JT4. QSO with Zdenek OK1DFC prove digital advantage; JT4 QSO was without any problem, latter on CW QSO was not easy at all with his weak signal. It is clear that where condition for CW QSO is below limit the JT4 QSO is still possible. Condition and weather was nice. |
