QRV INFO - DF7TV - 2023/04/09(Sun) about 06:00 UTC to 13:00 UTC -- JIDX contest
Hello again,
our club station has been partially occupied today for a VHF/UHF contest. So I will be QRV again on Sunday, April 9th from about 06:00 UTC to 13:00 UTC for the JIDX contest. Propagation on 10/15 mtr bands seems to be very nice at present. CU 73 Tom |

Re: DL5YYM in Japan International DX Contest
Hello Guenter,
nice to see you here. I may confirm you had a strong signal on 10 mtr even in Stuttgart at the club station of DK0SU. I could only work a few hours and had to do paper logging and to send using the paddle. A new situation for me because I normally use N1MM Logger+. The station's PC had been occupied for the German VHF/UHF contest of today. I will try again tomorrow from about 06:00 UTC to 13:00 UTC. 55! CU 73 Tom Hallo Guenter, sch?n Dich hier zu treffen. Dein Signal war auf 10 mtr auch in Stuttgart super. Ich konnte nur kurze Zeit teilnehmen, da der Station's PC von DK0SU f¨¹r einen deutschen VHF/UHF contest belegt war. Also Papierlog und Senden nur mit dem Paddle. F¨¹r mich ziemlich ungewohnt, da ich normaler Weise mit N1MM Logger+ arbeite. Ich hoffe wir h?ren uns bald mal. Viel Erfolg beim Contest! CU 73 Thomas |

Re: THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIPS ON 10 METER PROPAGATION TO JAPAN
Hi Cliff et al,
As same as Hiro,I've never know "Feld Hell". It sounds interesting. I'd like to search about it later. Thanks for the info Cliff-san! BTW My remote station at Hakone has been down since last week. I'm going to visit the station next Sunday. So, I'm absent on the bands for a couple of weeks. 73+88 Atsu, JE1TRV(home)/JS2AHG(remote) |

Re: THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIPS ON 10 METER PROPAGATION TO JAPAN
Cliff-san,
The same here, 1st time to know about the Feld Hell or the Hellschreiber which seems very gentle digimode to the radio final. Thank you for the INFO. Tom-san, also TNX for your reminder of JIDX. I¡¯m not much a contestant but will QRV at the JIDX to say hello to my CW friends. 73, // HIRO, JJ1FXF |

Re: THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIPS ON 10 METER PROPAGATION TO JAPAN
Thanks Tom! Although I've been a ham for 26 years now I never have really gotten into chasing DX very much or contesting other than a 2 or 4 hour long CW Sprint until just recently which is why I'm such a greenhorn at it. I've always mostly had ragchew QSOs over the years, that and participating with the Feld Hell/Hellschreiber Club. I helped man the Feld Hell Club's W8H Special Event Station from the Dayton Hamvention in 2013 when it was still at Hara Arena. We've got over 7,300 members now and my membership number is 62 which shows how long I've been into Feld Hell. I enjoy it because it's a great digital mode for ragchewing, especially with regular Hellschreiber mode that has only a 23% transmit duty cycle so it's a lot easier on the rig's finals than many other digital modes with long transmit duty cycles. The mode the club uses for our weekly 30, 40, and 80 meter band nets uses FSKH-105 Hell (Frequency Shift Keying at 105 baud) mode which has a transmit duty cycle of around 80%. We found out? near the bottom of solar cycle 24 that FSKH-105 just works much better then Hellschreiber when the propagation is terrible..
I also like keeping the old mode alive that's been around since 1930. German inventor and engineer Rudolph Hell actually invented the mode in 1929!? Anyway Tom, thank you for the information on the?Japan International DX Contest (JIDX) contest! Very 73 de?Cliff, KU4GW |

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIPS ON 10 METER PROPAGATION TO JAPAN
Your JA propagation tips/advice paid off! I just worked JM7OLW, Suke, in Fukushima, Japan at 2136z on 28.019 Mhz. I checked the club roster, but unfortunately Suke wasn't on it. The tips about 2100-2300z being the best times to try were dead on! Suke was a very strong 599 signal, but his?9 element monobander?for 10 meters @ 30 meters (98.2 feet) high with a 16.7 meter (54.7 feet) long boom helped tremendously for both of us! I received a 449 report off my Solarcon A-99 vertical at 9.14 meters (30 feet) high so it did fairly well for an old 11 meter band CB antenna. I'm pretty sure Suke was using a keyboard because I had a tough time matching his 28 wpm with my Bencher paddle. I had to do a few dit, dit, dit, dit dit, dit, dits and correct myself. Thanks again guys!?
