Today there was an astronomical autumn afternoon I went up the hill, even though the prospects for tropo conditions are not yet optimal center of Europe. Upon arrival, I looked at the lighthouses in the 3 cm band. LX1DB (JN39co) passes very weakly with deep losses, then look at HB9G (JN36bk) which is 709 km! which normally do not hear, and to my surprise, 529 over two hours. I noticed one interesting fact, in connection with Heino DJ6JJ (JO32pc) I heard the tropo signal 599, while four-fold reflection from the aircraft. So at one point I had from him 5 times the signal! Pretty good curiosity.
On Saturday morning, after four o'clock UTC is heard again at maximum LX1DB beacon to the 599th In the morning the whole hill was covered Šedivák. Before five o'clock it begins to disappear, but still faintly through LX1DB. They hear the normal lights, but no more than 500 km. I hope that after all some tropo conditions occur. Among other DXCluster watch and see that Manfred DL7YC is QRV via EME on 24GHz makes several QSO Manfred ... my congrats.
Saturday evening, Sunday morning, beacon LX1DB playing for your life but activity on the band almost none. I just hope that conditions will last the race. Unfortunately, during the day, conditions are here in the west do not hear anything. On Monday morning I was back home and I hope that at the end of the week, still have some good conditions.

Today we are together with OK1DCI, OK3RM, OK7RB been launched at 24048.915 MHz beacon OK0EW. Lesna JO60rn 911 m above sea level and about 10 m above the ground. Power is 100 mW into the antenna slot. Listening OK1JKT report please, thank you.

This weekend I went up the hill, I originally wanted to visit a meeting in Weinheim but I did not know when I will have to be back home and visit a meeting so I gave up. On Saturday about 12 pm utc LX1DB beacon was heard about two hours, although with slight losses but still readable. On Sunday morning around 4 o'clock UTC is heard again, this time the 529th Unfortunately I had to return home even though it was clear that the storm began to form at the front and proceed to the east will be a very good sign in MS conditions. So I just watched the DXClusteru what connections are made. This day was another who made ​​100 squares on 3cm band DB6NT Michael, congratulations!

On the hill I went out on Thursday. Unfortunately, all the RS in the west are so far away and make connections between other French stations. Yet there are other points in the south of the RS, after consultation with Claudio I4XCC we found two usable scatters, but the signals are relatively weak. At about 15.30 UT I see on radar images from the hulking storm over southern Austria at around JN77pa. The challenge comes with a very nice signal Gabi HA8MV / p and Zlatko 9A2SB report which gives me +40 59s! Once again, I do QSO with Claudio, who offered to Gabi that he moves into a square JN64ha. Gabi makes the connection so it is increasing more square, then I do have connections with Claudio as well. Scatterpoint gradually moves to the east and weakening hear the station. On Friday morning I have to do the necessary work down, but I am back on the hill.
Around noon, near featureless RS from the southwest. It is interesting to look at the SDR radio HB9, there is strong HB9AMH hear. I'm trying to test the RS and listen via SDR unfortunately I can not hear the audio but I see her on the monitor signal, very weak, even after dosměrování ... yet the MS moves to the east and begin to be heard and DB0FGB DB0ANU beacons, search for others, but nothing.
Again formed a nice work with RS 9A5MT, 9A2SB, and before that 9A1CRJ tropo DC8EC and DL7QY
03.09.2011 In the morning calm výchdu only very strong and OK0EA SR6XHC lighthouse. On Saturday přjíždí other club members and are preparing for the race "Records Day" on 2 meters. The guys do some exploring around the measurement and interference that comes from strong TV signal transmitter, a bit of grilling sausages. And we can start the race ...
The end of the race is over so briefly to the results. Over 900 QSOs in about 340,000 points in the average 372 km / QSO ODX TK1E JN42lm and 958 km.
At 3 cm, although some MS are, but I'm going home ...

RS Conditions continue to do so together with 9A1CAL, S54AA, 9A2SB, S53RM, SP6GWB, and SP6ASD OK/S55M. We can say that the end of the holidays compared to other years were rich in RS condx.

Today I had a program with the grandchildren for the day. But I did later in the evening only after assessing the situation RS fled to the hill. Terms of the west had ended (even though LX1DB beacon was heard) and so I concentrated on the northern direction. The first QSO with Brian doing OZ1CTZ at 19 utc, after he appeared to Peter OZ9PP chat and agreed upon once the test is doing and then JO47va for me is a new square, bingo # 100 is reached! Then followed another link to Mark.

RS is still a great gaming environment is too many nice link that I can only watch on DXClusteru HI. Still I have to take care of grandchildren, and so perhaps I can be QRV on Saturday. I wish many nice QSO!

Thursday, 8.25 I later got to the hill in the evening. Establishing links with Gabi HA8MV / p and Matt SQ7DQX via RS. Later, Chris OZ2LD tropo. Unsuccessful tests with Boris US5WU scatterpoint was already far away for me when Boris pointed to chat. On Friday, before five o'clock in the morning I look at the map and there is a nice RS - lighthouse LX1DB hear 55s, but duty calls so fast I'm going home. For today's Friday is good opportunity to re-open MS conditions. The band storms over France that suggests.

This week I got to the hill only on Mondays and Fridays. I'll still watch next week and grandchildren so they get around the hill or later in the evening.
At Monday, August 15 I got up later in the afternoon, but even though I made a few QSOs
I4XCC, 9A1CAL, SQ3FYK, SP6GWB, SQ3DHO.
On Friday I managed to get up the hill again, because he is a great forecast for the RS I was hoping another nice QSO. Making a connection with Zlatko 9A2SB 672 km during the QSO I scatterpoint it up at a distance of 500 kilometers! Furthermore, together with Gabi HA8MV / p and Cesare I6XCK. Their wish came true when he created around JN66jn RS point. Managed together with Carlo I4CVC / 7 JN71su 981 km via the RS and the new square in the 99th order is done. About an hour later still doing the connection with Adam 9A4QV to 613 km. At his side is only 200mW and 40 cm dish.
On Saturday morning is still kontoluji beacons when tropo is not raised, not much so bear in the woods mushrooms. One and a half baskets and so just bear back to her grandchildren.
