Presentation “Let´s Bounce” II

September 1st, 2014

ISS Bounce Title

After giving the presentation in english language in Clonbur, Ireland on August 25th, there will be two more dates in Germany:

September 13th, 2014 at the VHF/UHF/SHF Convention in Weinheim as a short version.

September 27th, 2014 at the “Distriktsservicetag” of DARC districts K (Rhineland-Palatine) and Q (Saarland) in Saarbrücken.

I will talk about how to surmount the horizon on VHF and up.

After giving an overview over the classic propagation modes Es, Aurora, MS and Tropo, I will explain, how aircraft scatter and ISS bounce work. EME will be subjected too and the presentation will be completed by an introduction to “Visual Moonbounce” as performed by Daniela de Paulis.

For the short version in Weinheim the overview over the classic propagation modes will be left out.

EI8HH on 50 MHz

May 11th, 2012

Beeing on a short trip to Ireland I used the chance to be QRV on 50 MHz as EI8HH.

While it was raining outside I enjoyed the Es opening on May 10th: More than 80 QSOs in 2 1/2 hours to middle europe. It´s always nice to be at the right end of the pile up!

50 MHz Es Opening on May 10th

Remarkable were several QSOs to G-stations with distances of only 500 km at the end of the opening. All were S9.
