TROPO CONDX   OK1AIY/P JO70SQ   23.10 2015                                                        

Hi Matej,

I send you brief report about the worked stations on 23rd October 2015. At my portable QTH I don't have any outdoor antennas, all contacts are done even during contest through "the hole in the roof" as I named openable roof's windows in 2nd floor of mountain hotel at Bebecko JO70SQ in about 950m ASL. At the window I use 70 and 23cm 10el yagi antennas which are lying on the paper box with possible to turn them +/- about 30°. On other bands I use dishes which are situated in the room. For 2m I use only simple GP magnetic antenna with vertical polarization place on the heater's heatsink. I'm not able to put it outside the roof because of the copper roof hi.

That EA1CGN was 1787,3km far, F6APE 1236,4, F6APE 1236,3km, EA1HRR 1632.7km, F6DKW 983,2km (it's my total ODX of the 3cm band), beacon F5ZBS 648km and F1NZC on 2m 1078 with that GP "magnetic" antenna in the room. This tropo opening was almost like the tropo situation during end of 60's when I worked DL stations in AM with 6L41 tube PA 5W out and screw driver antenna.

By the way that EA1HRR on 70cm had only 8el yagi and 30W out, I used 45W and 10el yagi, not bad for a distance of 1633km hi.

My actual equpment for bands 23/13/9/6/3cm and 24/47/76 GHz at Klinovec JO60LJ in May 2013. Phot was made by OK1VAM.
