I missed the whole Sat from 6Z and managed to log the first QSO a minute before 00z on Sun.<\/p>\n<p>Invested a lot of work into the preparation and the antenna work. As result I had new top loaded vertical, the original 268m USA-JA Beverage system was extended to 2wire version with the needed HW, switching etc. No need to say that I sat down to the operating desk right from the Beverage &#8220;filed&#8221; as I finished 30 mins before the start. Had no chance to try the new gear so only the hope remained for the first live solution validation.<\/p>\n<p>The Beverage coverage &#8220;gaps&#8221; between the main directions were badly missed. A bunch of multipliers fell into these directions where I had no chance to hear anything. Seems need to get these fixed for the next time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The Saturday NA propagation was so bad I started to suspect that the USA Beverage was demolished. All the stns came at the noise level and each contact was an achievement by itself.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough the resonance of the T-vertical jumped with ~50kHz up once on both days. Have no clue what might be the reason. Despite this the rest of the HW worked well. Only the RX switching required a short CPR before the final stage and got back to life again.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside of the weekend was that I managed to miss CT&#8230; Had not a single station logged from Connecticut&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1781"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2491,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781\/revisions\/2491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
