Hi Lou and all,

I think Larry's n6hpx email address has been hi-jacked/SPAMMED so I have emailed
him off list to let him know and also put on moderation for the moment.  The
original email with that SPAM link has been deleted and thanks.

Hello to all,

I have done 2086 QSO's from 01 Jan 2011 till 30 Jun 2011 on all Bands/Mode.
And 602 QSO's on the 30 Meter band.


Here my 6 months report, on the 30 meter band in 2011.
Report created with DXKeeper, I have made a little script for this report. The
biggest work was to write this in a readable text hi.. like number 5, I have
changed in 005 etc.
My working conditions:
TRX = IC-703 – PWR – 05 – 10 Watt
Ant = GPM1500, 5 meters above the ground in the middle of a lot of trees from
abt. 25 meters.

73 de Pat ON2AD

QSO – WKD = 602

ITU – WKD = 023 – CFM = 005
WAZ – WKD = 020 – CFM = 014
WAE – WKD = 047 – CFM = 005 (All Europe)
WPX – WKD = 306 – CFM = 189 (All Prefixes)
WAS – WKD = 011 – CFM = 010 (All US States)
WAC – WKD = 006 – CFM = 006 (All Continents)
RDA – WKD = 037 – CFM = 004 (Russian Districts)
SRR – WKD = 038 – CFM = 003 (Russian Oblasts)

--Grid – WKD – 278 – CFM = 117 (Maidenhead Grid squares)
Fields – WKD – 036 – CFM – 027 (Maidenhead Fields)

WAIP – WKD = 024 – CFM = 001 (All Italian Provinces)
IOTA – WKD = 018 – CFM = 000
DXCC – WKD = 069 – CFM = 052 (Buro-06 LOTW-41 eQSL-50)
--CW – WKD = 006 – CFM = 004
-PSK – WKD = 053 – CFM = 044
RTTY – WKD = 067 – CFM = 050
DDFM – WKD = 001 – CFM – 000 (All French Deparments)

Countries – WKD = 071 – CFM = 051 (All CQ Countries)
--USA-WAC – WKD = 019 – CFM = 015 (All US Counties)

The 30m Band Utilization Chart is settling down now. Just one recent

The 30m Band Utilization Chart:
    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wadei/30m_band_utilization.htm

Hello ian ... great work
But i have an update
Ros mode on 30m is 10.146 - 10.149 .... (dial) mode 500hz
Audio 1500-2000hz usb
So the question is ... should they be changed in ros soft ... or should your
chart be updated ...

Dg9bfc
sigi

ps i should tell programmer that last channel is falling out of the band!
10.149 + 2kc audio = 10151 !!!

Hi all,
similar to ON2AD-Pat's summary of the first 6 months, I have analysed my
activity on 30m as follows; of course, a lot of further contacts were had on
other bands but they are of no significance in this group:

Mode                        QSOs done

PSK31                       500   (BPSK and QPSK together)
CW                          222
PSK63                       175   (BPSK and QPSK together)
RTTY                        100
JT65                         92   with WSJT
PSK125                       68   (BPSK and QPSK together)
CONTESTIA                    37
FMHELL (105 and 245)         25
HELL                         24
MFSK16                       28
THOR                         23
OLIVIA                       16
DOMINO                       12
RTTYM                        10
THROB                         8
SSTV                          7   with MMSSTV
THROBX                        7
HELL80                        6
MT63                          5
AMTOR FEC                     5   with MixW
MFSK22                        4
MFSK32                        4
FSK31                         3   with MixW
CHIP64 and CHIP128    each    2

and 1 QSO each in the following modes

MFSK4  / PSK16 / PSK125R / ROS / FSK 63 and 125 / PACTOR-FEC / SLOWHELL / PSK63F
( PSK220F / PSK500 / PSK250 / MFSK11 / WSJT-DIANA / DOMINOF / MFSK8 / PSKHELL /
MFSK8. Some were skeds, some were replies to other hams calling with MixW and
Multipsk.
Total QSOs 1402 on 30m done mostly with FLDIGI. Yet I doubt that I shall achieve
a similar number for the 2nd half year due to conditions.

Someone on qrz.com commented on the loud over the horizon radar that's audible
just about everywhere on 30 meters lately. It's gets really loud at times,
registering over S9 at my location. Is it this bad for everyone? With any luck
it won't be a factor for too long.

I just noticed that I got the last state I needed confirmed on 30 meters for 30m JT65 WAS. Also have 30 meter mixed WAS from about a month ago.

Thanks to all of the stations of confirmed via LOTW.

73 and good dx

Congrats to Eddy, N4ABN for doing the same thing several weeks ago if my memory serves me correctly.

This week I decided to try JT65A with 0.5 watts into my low-slung dipole
(2 meters high).
My QTH is  a densely populated village in the center of  Malta island,
3km from the sea.
As usual, the European contacts were there, with most reports giving me
S/N <-20dB.
Nobody in the Americas seems to hear me, although incoming signals here
were as usual.
The big surprise was around 00:00 Z on several nights, when I had a QSO
with VK4 with report S/N -20dB
and was also regularly spotted on VK3AMA reverse beacon, even stronger.
Maybe I'll try for WAC with 0.5 watts, that should prove if, with my
simple antenna,
it really is possible to work the world using 0.5 watts on 30 meters.

Hi Robin - No worry about your signal as I can read you nearly all the time; but
to be honest, 500 mW are remarkable! Good luck and dx!

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you all know that I will not be able to issue any of
the above mentioned awards for the next 3 weeks.

Although I will have limited access to the internet via my mobile phone, I will
most likely not issue any awards!

If you are really in a hurry, please apply within the next 24 hours and I might
just be able to get them through in time.

I beg you to not re-apply for an award within this 3 week period as this will
only slow things up and fill up my mailbox!

Hello All.,

I was wondering if we could use the WSPR mode as a contact to set up a contact?

I mean some of use wspr as a prop report, antenna analyzer, or just to see how
far we can go. Think about it if we are all running wspr and spot someone we
could try to work them and we would not have to watch a DX cluster. After we see
the WSPR report we then switch over to RTTY, PSK, HELLSCribe, or our favorite
digital mode to try to make contact.

I know WSPR is not consider a "real" contact but since us 30m guys are die hard
operators and band dedicated we can make it a real mode between our band. After
all isn't that how the other modes became a real contact. Started with a few and
became accepted world wide.

Just thoughts from a 30m guy.

Harold/KD8DVY

P.S.

We can make it a contest among ourselves.

Hi All..

I have had that thought before....and looked at what S/N would be needed on a
WSPR spot if a contact was to be made with that same station using say Olivia..

Think your chances would be better using something like JT65 as the mode and
power is closer to other digital modes.. there is also the option for your own
13 characters to be sent giving some details of mode and freq...you would like
to try....don't forget even Olivia 16/500 has only a -10db or -12db s/n...8/250
is a bit better at around -15db or so..

most WSPR spots are low db and not similar to other modes....and not sure...but
I suspect many are operated with the Ham doing other things or not actually in
the room....JT65 the Operator has to be there to use it...

John
