Fast QRT on DM/BW-237 .. sri

Old Reflector

hi all,
sorry for fast qrt today on bw-237. but i have should know that before,hi :slight_smile:
beginning with a mix of sun and fat clouds, but from minute to minute the crashes in the rx coming stronger and stronger,and then the sky become dark in seconds.
the thunder was not the problem.the thunderstorm was far enough away at this time,but the storm becomes stronger and stronger, and there are many old and high trees on that summit.and they sounds not good in the wind. after 45min of operating time i closed with 73qso´s in my log. not my way, but …after the packing of the rucksack the storm comes so strong that i run with the 17,2Ah slab on my back to the car in a new record time from abt. 30min :slight_smile: no good feeling in a storm in mid of old and damaged trees by the last big storms.i have should have known that before…

to the news :
shure i come back QRO :slight_smile: but in the time i need to build the k2 with the PA and the ssb-adapter i come with my old qrp rig. maybe a good time to test and enjoy sota with les equipment and “easy to carry batteries”. hope i can stay at 50 to 70 QSO´s per activation.

and the asking for non spotting in clusters :slight_smile:
never had so much spots as today :-)))

Hi Klaus,

when I worked you today, I just arrived back home from my HE-053-activity.
At this time we already had heavy showers and I was lucky to have a dry rig his time :slight_smile:

tnx for another new one!

Hi Klaus

Thanks for the 30m qso today. A wise move to qrt fast then to run faster.
No need to say sorry with 73 qso in your log, hi.
The same thing happenned to Steve G1INK recently when a storm came in fast, it is no laughing matter.
I look forward to our next qso.
