HAM meeting HOLICE 2016 ( OK1KHL )





   Since the times when I was a child, I was looking forward to visit Holice HAM fest. It must be more than 20 years when I was there with my father for the first time. For the last few years we do the presentation of our products and sell some "rubbish" from OL7M and home :)

   And again, it was nice to meet friends and speak to many HAMs. The only thing I can complain to the organizers is the weather. Next year please pay little less money for it, over 30 degrees is too much :) Anyway thanks a lot and see you next year there!

  
Something to eat and drink :)

Perseids 2016: 9A/OK2ZAW + 9A/OK1MU 

- close to new 144MHz MS world record





   Again (click for more), after a year, we were somewhere in the rare squares :) It is our 5th time MS DXP! The OL7M team was: Pavel OK1MU, Standa OK1CID, Olda OK1UGP and myself OK2ZAW. 
   At first, we have to THANKS a lot to Roland 9A3MR. We could rent 9A0KG contest QTH and used their 4x9el system and site. What more, we could taste great 9A food, played Balote and use Rolando's land at Murter island!


   What we could not believed in was the test with Fernando EA8TX. Fernando made new 144MHz MS world record with S50C. We didn't believe, that it would be possible from us, but we tried it. During the first try we didn't copy anything. But Fernando did!

Our signals in IL18qi:

And another test:

And finally during last sked we heard him but he did not copy us.. :

193931  8.8  420  1 26 -140       U  91/OK2ZAW EA8TX 9A/OK2ZA70EBXTXC9A

205031 18.9  260  1 26  -92     OO  U #K5 4T 9H CK9ZAW !A8TX ,K/KO2Z


We spent 7 hours and were close to new MS 2m world record.. almost 3400km to EA8TX
