| 2025-01-07 13:46:52 | thenorthcore@snabelen.no | 2 | Progress update... | Had fun listening to the NCDXC/IARU beacons on 20m to 10m inspired by this weeks #hanchallenge.RX is a KX3 and the antenna my makeshift 3 wire vertical on the balcony with somewhat resonant wires for 20m, 15m and 10m over a questionable groundplane. Bonus, the feed point is covered in 20 cm snow this time of the year.RX report:2025-01-06 after 10:00z20M: CS3B 100W, RR90 100 W, OH2B 10W?17M: RR9O 10W, CS3B 10W?15M: 4X6TU 100W12M: RR9O 1W, 4X6TU 1W?HC02 |

| 2025-01-10 17:07:45 | thenorthcore@snabelen.no | 2 | Progress update... | Listened a bit around local sunrise and sunset yesterday. Not much happening there besides the usual beacons. 2025-10-09 around sunrise 08:40 20m CS3B 100W, RR9O?, didn't check the higher bands2025-10-09 around sunset 14:15 20m CS3B 1W, 4X6TU 100W; only 4X6TU on 17M 100W, 15M 100W and maybe 12MToday no new beacons either. 2025-10-10 13:13 20M OH2B 100W, CS3B 100W17M 4X6TU 10W, CS3B 100W15M 4X6TU 10W12M 4X6TU 1W#HC02 #hamchallenge |
| 2025-01-13 22:27:20 | thenorthcore@snabelen.no | 2 | Success! | Last weeks #hamchallenge was good fun. Good to „feel“ the radio propagation!I was surprised to hear VR2B (~ 8000 km) well, but its my preferred direction with terrain sloping down eastwards.4X6TU, CS3B and RR9O are all about 4000 km away and OH2B only 700 km.Would expect to hear the JA2IGY beacon at a similar distance as VR2B, but we might not have shared daylight this time of the year.BTW, the terrain slopes up westwards blocking propagation to north america.#HC02S |
