Go get them Lars

Lars PH0NO was mailing me a few days ago he would be QRV with his special call PA44FF today. I asked him to let me know as I really wanted to earn his beautiful QSL. We first tried 40m, I just finished a QSO there with DK7KM who is on the German coast just across the water so I knew the antenna was working well. I did hear Lars but unfortenately very weak. We decided to move to 20m to see if we would be lucky via groundwave. We both had a good and quiet location. I was on the best DX spot around at the top of a dyke antenna about 8 Mtr agl. Using 5W I was just able to work Lars after a few calls. I made a short video just when Lars was talking to VK5PAS and the pile-up afterwards hence the title of this blogpost as Lars was getting them ;-). Unfortenately someone decided to tune on the frequency at the start of the video so you have to listen to a rather annoying beep first. Sorry for the audio quality as I made this with my mobile phone.

  1. Leuk man die opname!
    QSO gaat zeker nog een keer lukken. Als t niet meer met PA44FF is dan wel met een volgende special call.
