PACC 2013 live from the radiodesk

The PACC were all provinces count as multipliers, but for how long. The politics talk about joining the provinces together sometimes... Well, it is 02:00 UTC in the morning. Believe it or not I just have exactly made the same amount of contacts like last year. 391 QSOs right now with 101 multipliers. The new 1/4 wave vertical is doing a good job, although I didn't work USA yet I contacted JY, A71 en WP4 on 40m. I'm getting a dip now so I just made some ragchew QSOs + I'm writing this in the blog.
I'm thinking of a few hours sleep actually...

De PACC, waar alle provincies tellen als multiplier. Maar voor hoe lang? De politiek praat af en toe al over het samenvoegen van provincies.....Het is nu 02:00 UTC in de morgen. Geloof het of niet, ik heb exact hetzelfde aantal QSO's als afgelopen jaar 391 QSOs en 101 multies. De 1/4 golf verticale antenne doet het redelijk goed alhoewel ik nog geen USA heb gesproken, wel maakte ik QSO's met JY, A71 en WP4 op 40m. Ik krijg nu een dipje en heb net even wat normale QSO's gemaakt + schrijf ik dit in het blog. Misschien dat ik zo toch nog even ga slapen...

    Looks like good results Bas up to this point in time. I have not heard any stations on this side of the pond. I was going to make some contacts and gives some points out but have not been able to hear your side.

      Hello Mike, well propagation is not that good. At the moment it's best on 80 and 40m. I made 2 QSOs on 80m this night (it's night here) with Canada in SSB. So a possebility could be there! 73, Bas

    Hallo Bas,

    Toch nog mooie verbindingen met de 80m loop en de nieuw gebouwde vertical. Helaas lukt onze verbinding niet ondanks jouw S9 hier. Met 1W naar PI4H ging goed maar 100W naar jou wil niet lukken hi. Het is ook erg druk om een vrij plekje te vinden.
    Succes en sterkte met de komende laatste paar uurtjes.

    Hello Bas, work relaxed with S&P here. My "best" is LZ6C, with 1.8 milliwatts. His signal was S+ +20dB. For the first time in years, below 3.6 mW. Worked USA with 800 mW while giving CQ. Amazing. hi. GL in DX, 73, Bert

      Hello Bas, 800 mW is only 5 dB lower than the maximum power of 2.7 W from my "crippled" FT-817. The difference is less than ONE S-point. 73, Bert
