ZR1EV Scrive: Ciao a tutti, Molti pomeriggi, dalle 1330 fino alle 1430, sono ascoltati, su 50.110, qui in JF96/95, un gran numero di bursts come quelli provocati delle meteore, in coincidenza, proprio, di una buona propagazione TEP in 28 MHz. Io ho un registratore che lascio in azione su 50.110 la maggior parte del tempo, e ieri ne ho afferrati alcuni veramente belli lunghi. Sfortunatamente non ho sentito nessun call. Ho tenuto l'antenna a nord in questo periodo, ed ho buona ragione di credere che questi segnali provengano proprio dall'Europa Meridionale. Queste condizioni sembrano avere il picco attorno alle 1330 fino alle 1355 (UTC). Parlando con ZS6PJS e ZS6WB ho saputo che in quel momento, in genere, non c'è quasi nessun segnale di TEP nell'area ZS6. Ascoltando tra 30 e 50 MHz con uno scanner si sentivano segnali molto forti (2 vie) di origine commerciale e questi rumori suonavano come in italiano. Tutto cio' che ho sentito fino ad ora sono alcuni pezzi di frasi come: "QRZ QRZ this is...<fading>" , "....pse repeat my report again <fading>" etc etc. Le stazioni hanno accenti duri (non da inglesi) ed i segnali sono molto deboli. Per favore fate alcune chiamate anche nella nostra direzione durante questo periodo. Mi piacerebbe molto fare il primo qso tra l'Europa e ZS1 in questo nuovo ciclo solare!! Ascoltate i segnali molto deboli. Se il segnale e' debole, io posso anche usare la procedura MS di 15 secondi per completare il QSO. vy 73 e spero di contattarVi in Sei metri! Shawn - ZR1EV in JF96ic ZR1EV@ZS0STB.TBG.WCP.ZAF.AF ZR1EV Write: Hi all, Most afternoons from about 1330 up to 1430 a variety of almost meteor-like bursts are being recieved on 50.110 here in JF96/95, coinciding with very good TE on 28 MHz. I have a tape recorder running on 50.110 most of the time, and yesterday caught some really nice long snatches. Unfortunately no callsigns heard. I BEAM North during this time, and I have good reason to believe that these signals are coming from Southern EU. Conditions seem to peak round 1330 up to 1355 (UTC). Speaking to ZS6PJS and ZS6WB reveal that there is almost no sign of TE to ZS6 during these "openings" to ZS1 on the ZS6 end. Scanning between 30 and 50 MHz on a scanning reciever produced very strong commercial 2-way and pagers in this range in what sounded like Italian. All I have heard so far are bits and pieces like "QRZ QRZ this is...<fade>" , "....pse repeat my report again <fade>" etc etc. The stations have heavy accents (not english) and are very weak. So please give some calls in our direction round these times. We would like very much to make the first EU to ZS1 contact for this cycle!! Listen for very weak signals. If sigs are weak, I can switch to 15 second MS procedures to complete a QSO. vy 73 and hope to work U on SIX!
