A few loggings from last night

The conditions were better then yesterday. 

We had some nice catches from Latin America like R Alcaravan 5910; R Sta Cruz 6134.8, R Mosoj Chasi  3310, R Pio XII 5952.5, R Marumby 6080 too.

Also Conakry on 7125 kHz was really going strong  at 2235 and the Australians on 4835 and 5025 at 2130 UTC made Dave home sick.

Paul was also very busy... Take a look here here.

Marc van Leemputten's Shortwave logs

The morning after - Marc checking all his loggings from a great nights listening

Marc van Leemputten has been concentrating on the higher frequencies taking advantage of the amateur antennas. He has been using the 15, 20 and 40 meter beams with his HF 225 and NRD 535 receivers.
Some fine work Marc.

Dave Onley having a break

Spaghetti and not much dx

What can I say? Mevrouw Visser's excelled in making us all a fantastic feed of Spaghetti, but unfortunately nothing has jumped out of the pan and hit us in the face as far as dx is concerned. Australia has been noted on 4835 and now RRI Palangkaraya on 3325 khz at around 2212 UTC. No Brazil yet on MW but we are all looking and the night is still early.

Guido Schotmans pondering dx after retiring

Marc telling Guido about Tropical diseases in Togo

Paul enjoying stories about mussel eating and Sharks

Marc Vissers fully focused

Dave Onley squeezing every last drop of Jupiler Beer out of his glass.

 Okay. We are here for the long haul doing alternative dx to what we usually do. Absolutely no FM dx this evening. The log periodic is up and a few logs will hopefully happen later.

The KAZ antenna

Planned antennas

We are now finalising the preparations. As antennas we are going to put up only one beverage.  During summer the fields are full of crop. That makes that the beverage can only be put up along the ditch. This beverage will point towards South America (240°). During the afternoon it will be reversed manually to SE Asia.

A super KAZ will also be erected. Main direction will be 135°. We hope to catch something from East Africa. Terminating resistor will be controlled remotely.

And of course, there are Erik's permanent gigantic beams.

Look Here for the antennas in Google Maps.
