Plenty of beacons today!
0150Z 28.264 VK6RWA 329 (sited in Perth 400 km north of me - off side
of beam.
28.260 VK5WI 539
28.262 VK2RSY 549
28.228 ZL3TN 429
28.209 KH6AP 569 (side of beam)
28.189 XE1SRF 429 (that is a surprise - straight over South Pole)
28.230 ZL2MHF 559 QSB deep.
28.450 amateur SSB American accent. These fellers don't give many
callsigns do they?
0300Z 28.269 VK4RTL 539 (Townsville)
VK5WI 539 (Adelaide)
VK2RSY 539 (Sydney)
28.256 VK3RMH 559 (Melbourne)
several pirates on AM - Indonesia??
0600 VK3RMH 559
I then had to leave to go to a funeral
0830 VK5WI 539
VK2RSY 529
28.268 VK8VF 589 (Darwin)
VK4RTL 539
0930 VK8VF 589 (side of beam)
Six Australian states and territories there in that lot plus Hawaii,
Mexico, New Zealand, and probably a W6 on SSB - not bad for a dead band!
Mexico is really long haul - not sure of the distance but would be round
6000 miles I would think. Someone with a Great Circle map centred on
Albany coud correct me on that except that I don't think such a map
exists!!Perth is only 400 km and I would think that ws back scatter since
turning the beam in the direction of Perth did not improve the signal.
I am uncertain of the distances of some of these places from my home here
but by road - Adelaide is almost a direct line and is 2200 km + or - a
bit.TOwnsville would be about 4000 and Darwin a little less.
Cheers,
BOb VK6BE.
