4m band:
70cmS56LXN was very active on 4m during October. On the 8th he made two 4m contacts from Strmec S5/CP-020. On the 11th he first activated ((S5/CP-002|Porezen)) S5/CP-002 making three 4m contacts. followed by Crvov vrh S5/CP-015 from where he made just one contact. On the 13th his summit activation was from Šorta S5/CP-014 which also resulted in just the one 4m QSO. On the 17th the summit activation was from Roviškovec S5/BI-011 (1 contact) and on the 18th the activation was from Parg (Peterkov vrh S5/RG-012 again resulting in just one 4m contact.
PSKZvone S57PZ continues to top the Slovenian 70cms table for 2009, but he has now been joined by Danilo S56SFZ who carried out an amazing 14 activations on the band during October, with a further 2 at the end of September. Quite how I record this Herculean effort I don’t know. Most activations included at least 4 contacts on 70cms. Danilo made 90 contacts in all on the band over the 16 summits. Perhaps the most challenging day was the double double summit day of 21st October when Kepa S5/KA-003 / Mittagskogel OE/KT-074 and Velika Golica S5/KA-013 / Kahlkogel OE/KT-117 reaped 20 contacts. Another double summit day on 29th October from Košutnikov turn S5/KA-004 / Koschutnikturm OE/KT-079, provided 12 contacts. The best single summit performance was a very creditable 9 contacts from Krim S5/RG-010 on 3rd October. Needless to say, Danilo jumped a massive 14 places up the 2009 70cms table.
Another faster mover is Marijan S56IAA, with 12 activations over the past month. At the end of September, Storžic S5/KA-005 produced 8 contacts. Another notable day was 21st October when Tolsti vrh (Kriška Gora) S5/KA-017 was activated with 7 contacts on 70cms in the log. A double plus a single summit day on 28th October from Velika Golica S5/KA-013 / Kahlkogel OE/KT-117 and Klek (Petelinjek) S5/KA-015 netted a total of 15 contacts. Excellent stuff indeed!
You might think that two activators giving the air a lot of over-time would be enough, but you would be wrong. Bojan S56LXN used the band from no less than 9 summits and recorded an excellent 11 contacts on 6th October from the two summits of Polhograjska Gora S5/CP-024 and Sveti Jakob S5/CP-026. On 25th October, 3 summits were activated – Štedel vrh S5/CP-037, Vancovec S5/CP-008 and Mohor S5/CP-019, but by contrast just 5 QSOs were made on 70cms over these three.
Aco S52Q was another spending a lot of time on the summits. Another 9 summit tally produced 45 contacts on 70cms. 20 of these were made on 21st October and another 12 on 29th October when Aco activated the band with Danilo S56SFZ. All of Aco’s activations were in the S5/SA area with the exception of Roviškovec S5/BI-011 on 17th October when 5 contacts were made on the band.
In looking through the database, I try to keep a look out for summit to summit contacts. One entry stood out for me from the log of Jurij S57XX when he was on Golic S5/BR-015 and he made S2S contacts with S52Q and S56SFZ on S/KA-004. Jurij also activated Šmarjetna gora S5/CP-030 on 27th September with 5 contacts made on the band.
Personally I can only admire the activations carried out by Bostjan S57GB. Just two activations on the band during the month, but with a huge 28 contacts made! 13 of these were made from Vrh Staneta Kosca (Rašica) S5/CP-031 on 3rd October and 15 from Kranjska Reber S5/KS-029 on 18th October. The latter activation is all the more remarkable for being solely carried out on 70cms. Not an easy task, I know I have done it!
There were three activators in Slovenia recording 70cms contacts this month. Actually the first is a club callsign - S53DGM. Two activations were made on 27th September from Blegoš S5/CP-003 and Malenski vrh S5/CP-009 with a total of 9 contacts – try this link http://forum.hamradio.si/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=8496 (a translation is available via Google). Dusan S51WX recorded a single contact with S56IHX from Sedlata gorica S5/RG-032 on 3rd October and Robert S56VHR made 2 contacts from Gora Oljka S5/KS-051 on 10th October.
Also active during the past month have been Kostja S56KM, Marko S57MS, Milan S58MU, Darko S57AX, Jurij S57AJJ, Marjan S56JAZ, Sergej S51ZJ and Andy S53MN. Hopefully I haven’t left anyone out. I must say that I am tempted to publish the results in table form with comments added as appropriate, but this would not make for interesting reading. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to record all this activity, I would be pleased to hear from them.
Boris, S54QEnthusiasts of PSK were rewarded with activations of PSK by Milos S53X on 14 MHz and by Alain F6ENO on both 10 and 14 MHz during the month.
