26.9 2009 - The new
IARU Region 1. & OK
record on 122 GHz - 22,6km
On 26th September was a opportunity to extend 122 GHz record with a
contact from Benecko in JO70SQ to Kozakov - JO70PO. In contrast to
Sunday 20th September, when the humidity was so high that even
direct visibility was impossible, weather was more friendly and QSO
was quickly achieved. Signals weren't so laud, just two ways 529,
however signals were quite stable without any kind of fading, More
details are written below the photos.
We haven't heard about
any longer
contact on 122 GHz in Europe so we believe it's the new IARU R1.
record and new OK of course.

on Kozakov hill with his equipment for 122
GHz band. To the right is equipment for 47 GHz which would be used in case
of bad visibility and precise beaming calibration.
View from the Kozakov
hill to 22,6 km far Krkonose mountains shows that the visibility and
therefore the best conditions for 122GHz contact weren't so fine after all

The graph contains data for layer from
1050hPa to 500hPa in JO70FA.
Wind significant levels (deg
