PJ7/DL7DF
is QRT! Thanks for calling us. All in all we made some 32,000
QSOs from PJ7 and FS, 83% in CW, 16% in SSB and the rest in RTTY,
PSK31 and SSTV. We hope that we have given you a new band or mode. See you
from the Andaman Islands VU4 in April! |

There
is a pretty high heat here with 31°C and no wind. We QRT
on Wednesday, March 8 at about 11:00 UTC to give the JAs a last
chance. Then we pack everything and try to get to the airport which is on
the other side of the island. Conditions get worse each day. 30m closed
very early today. |

on 20 or 15m. |

We
plan changing our QTH (country!) tomorrow - March 2nd - and move to PJ7.
So we will not be QRV between 11:00 UTC untill evening at about 21:00 UTC. |

|
It
was an amazing run on 160 this morning, we logged 204 stations, 65 of them
on SSB. |
| |
|
SSTV was
running well with 19 stations in the log. We try again SSTV today 14:00
UTC on 15m.

Conditions
are not good. We are getting closer to the 10,000 QSO landmark. No 160m
yet due to this weekend's CQWW 160m Phone. |

Everything
is going well after the initial problems with the property neighbour were
solved who complained about interference. Both stations were running with
full power for 24 hours and no more complaints. Some 6700 QSOs so far. |
| |
|
80m and 160m
isn't so easy - the vertical's top load ist too large for the local property
but we solved it with a bottom coil for 160. But we need to go outside
to be able to change bands between 80 and 160 which isn't that easy in
the darkness - not to speak about the yelping neighbour's dogs. A try
to build a remote control went up in smoke. We probably are on 160 one
night and on 80 the next one. Let's see. Anyway, it is hopeless during
this weekend's CQWW 160m Phone contest.

Sigi
and crew arrived well on FS but had one day delay waiting for the antennas
that were delayed in Paris. They came on the air at 0100 UTC today. The
hotel location seems to be pretty good. |
