Hi All,

Here's a brief note of my activity for the last few days:

The hyperlinks are real audio clips of WA5WCP, if anyone wants mp3's please
email me.

25th August
2032 JT65c DF0MFG O(-21)/RO

29th August
0457 CW WA5WCP/7 <http://www.g4cch.com/sounds/wa5wcp_7_wy_cw_070829_1.ra>
in Wyoming RO/O for Initial, Grid and US State... Paul's signal was a good
559 despite the Moon being very low at my location.
0508 CW WA6PY 569/569, 0514 CW VE6TA 579/579.

1st September
I had hoped to be on for Moonrise the previous evening... unfortunately the
cable to my elevation jack got snagged on the tower and became disconnected
from the jack. It was quite windy too, and although I managed to repair the
problem, decided to park the dish and start again the following morning...
hopefully with less wind. Signals seemed above average for the whole pass.

0455 CW I5MPK 569/579, 0514 CW WA5WCP/7

the next pass. 

I hope to be on again tonight if the wind drops for the VK & JA window from
2030z, and again in the morning from 0500z for Eu and USA. I will be looking
for anyone who wants a QSO either CW or JT65c,  If anyone wants a sked
please email me - howard at g4cch.com.
