If I can find my QSL cards, I shall have something in the mail to you as well. I’ve got you in the logs and you should have already received a QSL via LoTW if you do such things. Thanks to K4KDR, WI7P, KG4AKV, N8URE, N5BO/R, N4THC, N9KT, N3CRT, and N1RCN for answering my calls. I do love anything to do with portable operations so this obviously works well for me. Sure, I’ve picked up my antenna and made a few contacts here and there but I haven’t really been active during the past ten years or so. This is really the first time I have been back on the birds in many years. ![]() For those of you needing FM15 and FM16, I will very likely be back “home” later in December and will be happy to give out FM15 and rove over to FM16. I was hoping it would be in FM15 but we didn’t leave in time and Lumberton, not Wilson, was where we crossed paths with the bird. We also stopped on our way back north to snag an ISS pass in FM04. Umm, Daddy, I think the satellite is over there. I even roved over to Folly Beach to activate a not-quite-rare-but-still-needed grid (FM02) which is also an IOTA contact! Of course it was raining at the time and there were issues. But, in less time than it takes to tie my shoe, I had corrected my problems and put stations in the log. Since I have been off the birds for so long, I think I made most every mistake a rookie could make. While in town, I tried to work every good SO-50 and ISS pass that came overhead (AO-91 still eludes me for some reason, I can’t hear myself on the downlink). What else is good for the soul? Satellite passes! It was a small affair but good for the soul. We stayed in quarantine for much of November to make the trip down to Charleston to see family we haven’t seen in more than a year. Receiver used today was a KiwiSDR in Maroshegy, Hungary. Traditional Chinese music with very good signals. I’m really starting to like this music program beamed to Europe from China. – 20:00 – China Radio International – 6020kHz Showing 17.7dB in Buchen, Germany (DM7RM). Tried a receiver in Hungary but SNR is too low. – 21:00 – Radio Romania International – 6030kHz DRMįrench program. All signals seem to be clean and no problem with selectivity on the receiver. Seeing 6010, 6020, and 6030 all in use simultaneously (including a DRM signal!). – 20:58 – Tech NoteĤ9m band is quite crowded at his hour. Signal is very clear in Fuzesabony, Hungary. Tried a receiver in Poland but transmission is noisy there. Another day of great traditional music (with Polish introductions). QSL SINPO 55555 in Hawaii – 20:13 – China Radio International – 6020kHz Really enjoy the text being sent along with the audio: Finally found the audio! No joy using SDR in Brisbane (no signal at all) but a great signal in Hawaii (AI6VN/KH6 using 75m Beverage antenna). – 17:10 – Radio New Zealand Pacific – 9780kHz DRM Did hear a blip of audio at the top second. Signal looks strong with no adjacent signals. Supposed to be DRM to the Pacific Islands but I’m not getting a full lock on the signal using any of the SDRs on the island. – 17:00 – Radio New Zealand Pacific – 9780kHz DRM ![]() ![]() ![]() Not my favorite but it was a nice program. – 16:46 – China Radio International – 6040kHz – 16:30 – China Radio International – 5970kHz According to documentation I can find online, this is being transmitted from Bengaluru. Music program with what appears to be news mixed in. SINPO 54555 Recording of China Radio International on on 6020kHz There did seem to be some sort of TTY signal near the carrier that caused some interference but did not take away from the overall experience. This program was destined to the Polish-speaking community of Europe although heard very well in Mardshegy, Hungary. SINPO 54555 Recording of Radio National da Amazonia on on 11910kHz DRM Recording of Radio National da Amazonia on on 11910kHz DRM – 20:50 – China Radio International – 6020kHzĪ personal favorite of mine, Chinese music via AM. Adjusting receive frequency up 0.12 kHz seemed to help. Nearby AM signal was causing some dropouts. Heard via SDR in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. – 19:45 – Radio National da Amazonia – 11910kHz DRMĪ very good music program in Poruguese broadcast using DRM (Mode B) from Parque do Rodeador, Braslia, Brasil.
