ANOTHER BIG TROPO IN PRAGUE 29th January

ANOTHER BIG TROPO IN PRAGUE

29th January - 2nd February 2006

OK1TEH JO70FD 320m asl + MP3 FILES ARE HERE

After few weeks another strong tropo in Prague come. I was glad to meet MM0DQP and MM5AJW on the band, because it was my 1st GM on 70cm & new tropo ODX 1459km. As well as 2m qso with MM3ERP was very nice, even he used 2W station only. I hrd him on 70cm too, but his 9el small antenna and 10W were not enough for me :-) Beacon GB3ANG IO86MN on 144.453 MHz was very laud over 3 days here!! This beacon has only 5W in 4el yagi, 370m ASL..... Hey Jon, OY9JD where were you?

I wasn't dare to imagine about GM via tropo in my qth because of very bad profile to GM (it's the worst direction from here). Why? Check photo. It was taken from 400m far underground station (view to N). Antennas on picture are pointing to the east, forest is in direction to GM & LA, SM and is about 100m far from our house :-)
