I have projected an expansion of the panel system, but probably not this year.<br />73, JanJan, OZ9QVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992431305032081854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-31735730067917565892022-11-29T12:36:47.283+01:002022-11-29T12:36:47.283+01:00@VE9KK I followed the discussion Mike, sometimes o...@VE9KK I followed the discussion Mike, sometimes our minds are blurred. 73, Bas<br /><br />@OZ9QV Hello Jan, great to see that the solar system is doing the job although it is almost winter. 150 QSO with 5W is excellent. I guess you only did S&P? 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-83496838196459038252022-11-29T09:47:29.516+01:002022-11-29T09:47:29.516+01:00Hello Bas,

I did a log search in my contest log and now AE5X. In the heat of contesting it may as John pointed out had been a close call to Johns. <br />Mike <br />VE9KK VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-88970476520068604002022-11-28T21:55:00.781+01:002022-11-28T21:55:00.781+01:00Good to work you, Bas - I never thought I'd wo...Good to work you, Bas - I never thought I'd work you on CW! You sounded good at my temporary NJ location, easily copied on my mobile set-up. Thanks for the contact!<br /><br />Mike - I was activating two POTA sites but didn't log your call from either of them. Maybe it was AE5E or AE5XA you copied...<br /><br />73,<br />JohnJohn AE5Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884676867006975179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-44628997499384201382022-11-28T12:58:12.115+01:002022-11-28T12:58:12.115+01:00Hello Mike, actually I didn't expect it. Just ...Hello Mike, actually I didn't expect it. Just at the start of the contest I thought I should check RBN if you were active somewere. Then I noticed I had a fair copy of you on 20m. Nr. 1 in this contest was with you. You had a pretty good signal on 15m at sunday. Though there was some QSB as well. Both contact to you were made with the 4 band square halo and 100W. Well you've seen what small antenna it is but strangely enough it performs almost like a full size dipole. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-40848762338381277852022-11-28T02:16:43.723+01:002022-11-28T02:16:43.723+01:00Good evening, Bas, it was a pleasure making the 2 ...Good evening, Bas, it was a pleasure making the 2 contacts with you in the contest. The funny thing is I remember the contact with John AE5X in that I copied the call and thought "why does that call look so familiar". When I read your post I thought THAT'S IT....it was John! I have to apologize to John for being officially "contesty" with him. If it clicked in he would have received the TU and 73 that you did. <br />Have a good week and I will be working on my contesting weekend post tonight and tomorrow. <br />73, <br />Mike <br />VE9KK VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
