Today I worked my first rainscatter qso 2017, very late this year.

I worked df1oi/p in jo42tf with 55s, I was also heard by dl6naa in jo50vf(541km) with 59+.

 

June 23 and 24 we got some nice clouds 300-400 Km from here.

Heard PE9GHZ for the first time.

Some sound files  OZ7Z at DD7PC, OZ7Z at DL3IAE, DL3IAE at oz7z and DL3IAS at oz7z

Worked Marco DD7PC, for the first time, his first oz, here my cq recorded by Marco

OZ7Z recorde by DL3IAE

DL3IAE recorded by oz7z

DL3IAS recorded by oz7z

Marco also send me a picture of my signal, where you can see my cq + oz7z :

Beacon heard OZ5SHF, OZ7IGY, OZ1UHF, OZ9GHZ, DB0VC, DB0GHZ, DB0MVP, DB0HRO, DB0XY, DM0UB, DB0FGB, PI7ALK, PE9GHZ, SK6MHI and SK6YH

Yesterday the rainscatter season started here in OZ.
Asked Daniel, DL3IAE for a sked, there were some small clouds in JO42, so a little optimistic. But we managed to make our first RS qso, Daniel were weak here, but soon the signals improved, and I managed to work also DL7QY, DL3IAS, DL6NAA. and OZ3ZW. Also heard DM0UB(JO62), DB0XY(JO51), DB0HRO(JO64), OZ9GHZ(JO65)  and the locals beacons via RS, Here my rs signal at dl3iae

Weather map :

Finally we got a longer rainscatter opening here in the northern part of Europe.

But I managed only to work 4 different stations during the 3 hours, no one qrv !!

Signals were weak in the start at 18:02z, but at 20:15z the signal were really huge, did work Daniel(DL3AIE) with 59 on SSB, very easy to read.

Also managed to work 2 tropo qso’s.

All worked with 15W and 48 cm.

Second day with RS on 10GHz in 2015, not much rain here in JO44, but lots of rain in Germany 🙂

Did work 5 qso’s, not many qrv(as usual). Worked DM2AFN for the first time. Here what I worked :

Here a rain map when working Daniel, DL3IAE via JO51HU(349km from me)

Heard also some new beacons, don’t know which beacons on each side of DM0TUD ?

Also saw a weak trace on 050, could have been ok0ea,

Here a “map” from PowerSDR(Hermes) from 16:24 utc:

 

July 27 2014, I managed to work SM0 on 3cm rainscatter. Saw that Per, SM0DFP was working sm7, ask him for a sked, and to my big surprise I heard Per calling CQ answered him and the qso was complete. A new #(JP90) and same distance as old ODX on rs(oe5vrl),  787km (wgs84) !

Thanks for qso Per.

 

Just came home from JN70, without radio. Turned on the 10GHz, and DL7QY were calling cq, as usual ! Worked Claus again, also worked Daniel, DL3IAE(JN49) and Kurt, DL5AEG(JO31).
