Ocean (Pacific) area, VK/ZL propogation. Steve VK3SIX, writes; Bob
ZL3TY sent me details of the recent significant qso between New Zealand
and Cyprus, first ever and first long haul to Europe this cycle. I must
say I was disappointed at the total lack of response from the European
quarter who are usually so opinionated about propagation, so here is
information from Bob for those who are interested. The 48 MHz carriers
were in from around 0830z, lots of offsets, mainly 48.249.6, 48.249.8,
48.259.4 direction was spread, mainly around 270 deg, quite a different
direction from the 49.75s which were around 320 deg Strength up to
about S5 After frequent CQs at 1002z a weak signal came back to my CQs,
it took me a while to get his callsign - shock I think, it was quite
unexpected and there was lots of QSB. Needless to say I would never
have worked him using SSB. He was in for around 3 mins in and out of
the noise, lots of QSB, I gave him xxx, he gave me xxx. There was an-
other signal on at the time that sent me a couple of ? but did not id,
possibly a VK. VK3 was hearing me on backscatter from NW.
Steves comments; DX was about 16000 kM the furthest from ZL this cycle,
and quite remarkable given the current solar conditions. The window has
now gone until October and was almost identical to the window in 1991/
1992 when VK7IK worked into PA0 VK3 to GW3 with ZL3's off the back of
our beams asking for a standby to try for the Europeans, date was 17th
and 19th of Feb 1992 which is only 9 years ago, so here is hoping for
better things to come on the downside of the cycle. VK3SIX Steve
Mozambique, C93AN. JG6BKB informs that the C9 (Mozambique)-expedition
which had been scheduled during March 17-April 25 by a JA team is
postponed. New schedule is probably from around 2001 June 10 for about
two weeks. 6m equipment is IC-706MKIIG and 4 or 5 ele-Yagi. They will
devote themselves to the service activities in the orphanage with
local 0900-1700. Operation will be done except for that time. de JA6SBW
