2006 FALL IBM QSO Party SSB
SOAPBOX COMMENTSAA6Z :
Much better conditions for SSB than CW and lots more participation. Very nice European opening for West Coast for
those that stayed on to work it, and great to hear all the ZL activity. SM5CS: Only 4 QSO's with an antenna halfway down. Anyway I did participate. 73 de Stig W0RY: I am pleased with the use IRB for the IQP. W0CJ: Very nice QSO Party! Thanks to all who participated! K1ER: Only able to get on for a few minutes on 20 meters. OH2LU: Great activity on SSB part. Thank you again for the arrangements. 73 de Tapani/OH2LU K2CIB: Nice party,
considering the mostly rotten conditions. Would have liked more 40 and 80
contacts. Heard the WA5LOC: Great to hear everyone on the air, I haven't been able to make the Sat. net for some time now, and will not be in there for a while! LU7DSU: I don't know why I couldnt work any G2DSY: Enjoyed meeting old friends. Thanks to you all for organising the event. Sorry to say the info got to me too late for the CW event. Look forward to next time. K4LEF: Limited
operating time due to sked dinner party. Enjoyed reliving the DL6DZ: all contacts made with maximum 6 watts rf. Antennas used: 40m : lambda/2 dipole (2 x 10.10 m) feed via rg58c/u (no balun), 20m & 15m : lambda/2 folded dipole,inverted-v,indoor, via rg58c/u,1:4 balun SM0UCC: I was

SOAPBOX COMMENTSAA6Z :
Unfortunately I had a scheduling conflict and missed the last half of
the day. I heard NO IBM activity on 40
or 80 meters, and No European IBM activity on 20 meters. I heard no IBM stations between 1400z and
1700z. I assume the poor propagation was
partly responsible, as well as interference from the CQWW non-US phone stations
in the CW band. It was nice to hear a
few new stations on RTTY. OH2LU:
Thank you for arranging another get-together for the fraternity. Prime time absence precluded more activity.
Hope to hear more stations in the SSB part. 73 de Tapani/OH2LU W0RY:
Using Internet Remote Base K2CIB:
Not enough activity! IBM CALLS REPORTED ACTIVE K2CIB W5PDB AA6Z W7LZ W0CJ W0RY F6HJR F6HMJ G3MCK G3OZT G3ZQC OH2GI OH2LU OH2SS OH3DO (Please report any errors or omissions to me)
2006 SPRING IBM QSO Party
SOAPBOX: AA6Z The propagation conditions seemed better this year,
at least for the first day of the QP.
Participation seemed good from the W7LZ Let's not have any more 48 hour contests, there just are not enough IBMers on HF for that length of contest. Let's go back to two separate 24 hour contests. Let's not have any more combined digital and SSB contests. K0TW - Worked four stations within the first hour of QP. I was on and off the radio throughout weekend but heard no one after the first hour. N4PCF - Fun contest, nice people playing, wish we'd had more IBMer's on voice on 80m and 15m!! OH2LU - Based on this event's experience 48 hr fformat is awfully long for a small active population. After Saturday's quite good activity Sunday was a disaster. I suggest returning to 24 hr format including all three modes: SSB, CW and RTTY. One Saturday in the Spring and another Saturday in the Fall. Anyway, thank you for organizing this event giving an opportunity to meet old and some brand new friends! 73 and Happy Easter de Tapani/OH2LU. DL6DZ - All contacts made with maximum 6 watts rrf 20m : lambda/2 folded dipole, inverted-v, indoor, via rg58c/u,1:4 balun Bad conditions and very low activity. I was on the station all day until 18:30 utc and could hear only those IBM'ers I had worked already. I was mostly on 40m and worked several european stations (no ibm'er). On sunday I spent some time on 80m very early and on 40m/20m later on until about 08:00 utc, but no IBM'ers heard. OH5BM - first time in IQP, - FUN G3ZQC - SOAPBOX: Only had a little time to operate - Saturday and Sunday afternoon, so missed all the 'excitement'. With conditions and (IBM) activity the way they, are would prefer 2 x 24 hour sessions - one phone the other cw/data/rtty(?). What about a 'prefered' calling frequency (+/- qrm)? 73 Jim (G3ZQC) VE3EVV - I wonder where the birdies went. I just heard the one US station on. Noise level was high up here. Maybe next party will be different. JA8EDS - The band
condx were not very good and I had S7-S8 noise. So I wasnt aware that the freq
I called CQ was occupied by special event station in COMPLETE LIST OF IBM CALLS REPORTEDW1ETM CT1BOL BA1RB K1HTN CT1HHP FO5QB KD1WZ DJ1ZN JA8EDS K2CIB DJ2OV JG1XLV WA2EDN DL6DZ ZL2BDW WA2FDL DJ0QN ZL2VK WA2JQK F6HMJ ZS1WDK AA2T G3OZT K2TPX G3ZQC W2UHA G4POF W4ABW GM8EUG/MM K4DRQ G0UKB W4GBU HB9DDO WD4MKU IW2KXM KM4NS OH2GI N4PCF OH1PN K5HB OH1TS W5IBM OH2LU WA5LOC OH2SS WB6OVH OH3DO K6PHD OH5BM N6PHW OZ1LTX K6WR SM0UCC AA6Z KI7K W7LZ W7PAQ K8ZEE K9IXF W0CJ KB0ISS K0JNE W0KJB W0SHL K0TW K0VH J73CCM VE3CRU VE3EVV VE3GHK VE7QC (Please report any errors or omissions to me) |
