Touring the market area today in Iringa, I encountered some really interesting generators. The power is interrupted often here (as in right now the power in our part of the city is out and I am typing this by dork light -- LED headlight). I found these very interesting generators. I just wonder what sort of power they provide.
Found that 20 m is open from about 0200Z to about 0500Z. Most of my contacts are to Europe and Asia with the majority of them in Russia and surrounding areas. About 0400Z 20 m opens a little to North and South America. Got Canada, VE3MPG, this morning at 0358 so if you want to talk on 14.070 Mhz try about that time.
10 and 15 are very quiet until about 0500Z and then they open to Europe. Right now (0600Z) I hear Germany, Russia, Bulgaria and Kazakstan on 15 and 10 M. When I get back this afternoon will try 10 and 15 M to see what opens up in the rest of the world.
One problem I am having is that when I send out a CQ there is an incredible pileup on BPSK. Since the decoder cannot filter out one signal and signals fade and return I can get very few callsigns out of that mess. I have resorted to just answering CQ's where ever I can find them.
