4W6MM audio recordings

By On · Leave a Comment · In Amateur Radio

The first QSOs from the new DXCC entity of East Timor, were made by Ross, 4W6UN and a few days later I got my licence as 4W6MM.  I started calling CQ on the 10M band and it took a while until the first station was in the log.

JA7JVY was the first station in the log, followed by JG5IAA and  N6DQ, who was the first U.S. station in the log.

I was using an Icom IC706MKIIG with a random wire at the time.

These contacts represent  the first QSOs made from East Timor after decades of silence.

I made 42,419 QSOs as 4W6MM.

The first recording was made on the 16th of March, 2000.

4W3DX audio recordings

By On · Leave a Comment · In Amateur Radio
4W3DX, Dili, East Timor 

Click on the link below to listen to a recording of my QSO with OE6MBG in Graz, Austria with the MARKONI Rhombic that I rebuilt in Dili.  Notice the complete absence of noise and fading on the signals.  

This is typical for the performance of Rhombics – signals may be weak but still very much workable.

 I recorded most of my 4W3DX operation (17,000 QSOs).   IF I was working JA and USA, then I was using a Force12 C3S antenna at 150 feet and if I was working EU, then I was using the MARKONI Rhombic.:
