Tony's 10 Metre Band Report
08 June 2006

Another cracking week for 10m. The Region 1 Field Day (CW NFD) at the weekend was certainly blessed with a multitude of active stations. The final scores for G3NKC/P are likely to be these:

Not bad for 100W and a single beam at the regulation height, along with wire dipoles for 40, 80 and 160.

More of my activities on the Farm in Alrewas later in this bulletin.

The stations reported as being on Ten Metres this past week on phone are:

Sunday's phone map

Fred, 2E0TLB, sent in a good list of stations: F4DZY 5/9, DQ2006D 5/9, LA1NEC 5/7, S53EO 5/7, DQ2006X 5/9, MI0JZZ 5/9, DC7WG 5/9, DK1MJ 5/7, SP5DQ 5/7, SP2DX 5/8, DH4RJ 5/9, DH5YM 5/6, DG1NAU 5/9, F5SAV 5/3, SP7XIH 5/9, OE7AJT 5/9, DQ2006C 5/9, S52BB 5/9, T77C 5/9, 9A2YM 5/9, HB9/G0LOW/M 5/7. He says, “I worked all of the above.There was a bit of QSB. I heard a lot more stations, next time I'll jot down their call signs & rst.”

Jerome, F8AOF, has news of a beacon. He quotes, “F5ZOK is now : since 26 may 2006 - F5ZUU - QTH MALATAVERNE - nr MONTELIMAR - PWR 5 WATTS - ANT VERTICAL.” That’s good to know

DM6HK, “Australier Hans” as he likes to be called sent in the info regarding German use of a special call. DQ2006s are in use during the World Cup so listen out for them. Hans’ club had the call sign DQ2005C.

I have had several reports via the Southgate website without the operators callsign. Please, I can’t give you credit for the report if you don’t put your call on there.

And so on to last weekend’s fun.

Alrewas is a small village near to Lichfield in the Midlands area of England. We operate from a field about a mile away. I’ve done previous sessions on SSB Field Day the first weekend in September but this was my first one in June. The weather was glorious from Friday through to Sunday and I actually got my face and arms sun burned. Here are a few of the lads (not me) at the start.

The kit went together surprisingly easily so we were able to get down the pub for a pint.

The computers and rigs would not interface correctly so we ended up running CT, the logging programme, and fudging the rig control.

The genny was small and not so noisy as Chris’ “big bugger” (not yet repaired from 18 months ago).

Here’s me (left) and Pete, G3KDB, working hard!

Roger, G3NLY’s other half Chris was ill and so he took very little part in the contest itself but was instrumental in getting the whole thing organised and paid for.

I lifted things and pulled things and had a fight with a caravan awning, which I won. I also cooked breakfast on Sunday and made coffees and teas etc.

This is Dave during the final hour of the contest - not a pretty sight.

A good time was had by all and we might have won.

I’ve left out the contest report and sun report or I’ll never get this to ‘TUT.
