40M QSL Contest (2-4. October 2015)

[Zazzle]

Hey everyone!

If nothing f***s up my schedule, this is gonna happen! (Feel free to move this post if it doesn't fit here.)

I'm heading to the other side of the Country at the beginning of October. Small vacation, you know.  The other side, that means: lots of high mountains with no people around for miles. I'll take a 10W 40m Beacon with me. And 100Ah Car Battery (oh, the pain. My back is screaming already. But no pain, no 'gain' - Bad pun intended ;p))

So! Here's the deal: try to tune in and if you succeed: send me a REPORT VIA PM on this board. As usual, you'll be rewarded with a special edition high quality QSL card for free.

X-Tra points for providing an audio record.

Summary:

• Start: 2. of October, 12:00 UTC
• End: 4. of October, 12:00 UTC
• Frequency: To be announced (somewhat between 6.950kHz and 6.990kHz
• RIG used: 10W CW + half have Dipole.
• Key to get a QSL-Card: the Name and Locator of the Beacon.

(Please; if you post your report public on the board: forsee from adding Name/Locator. You can do yo after the contest is over.)

Greetings,
Zazzle

Hey everyone.

It's on air. 6987kHz. Go for it.

Is the frequency 6987 kHz correct ? I can't hear it on my radio and also it is not received by Twente WebSDR.

[Fred Smith]

Can just hear it and see it on the SDR here in NE Maryland. Not strong enough to copy the code yet.

I have been watching something at approx 6987.04 (I need to do a freq re calibration since I just re-booted).

I have been seeing some definite CW groups during signal peaks, but not enough continuity to decode.

[ChrisSmolinski]

I checked the overnight SDR recording, nothing obvious here on 6987.

Today I heard on 6987 a very weak fast CW transmission with number groups, starting at 1828 UTC.
