5-The surface pressure chart

6-The visible maps

7-The airmass maps (Copyright 2010 Eumetsat)

Very interesting maps showing the warm-cold areas.

For analysis of airmass maps see : http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/bin/guides/msg_rgb_airmass.ppt

On some meteo website, i have read this :
This airmass image can be used for day and night.
Warm air (high tropo) are green when they have a high humidity in altitude.
Warm air (high tropo) are brown-orange when they have a low humidity in altitude.
Cold air (low tropo) are blue to blue-purple.
But due to the roundness of the earth, , warm air may appear as blue.
Tropo anomaly shows reddish color.
Intense red shows jet, and jet advection area.

See how they correlate with the point #3 radiosounding data (PREDICTED DATA from NOAA Air Resources Laboratory)

9-The QSO's

2010-09-13

ZS2GK was 59+ on 144 at 1247z

ZS2GK KF47kt to FR5DN LG78qs : 2891 Km (144 digital, ssb, FM and 432Mhz digital, ssb, FM)

432 digital 2010-09-13:
130900 14   -4 0.7 -269 3 *      FR5DN ZS2GK KF47          1   0
131100 16   -4 1.0 -132 3 #      FR5DN ZS2GK KF47    OOO   1   0

432ssb 2010-09-13 just after the digital qso:
Glenn was here at best 58. He got me 55-58.

Then we tried 432 FM 2010-09-13:
At best he was 56-57 but i was having some local noise on FM, i need to correct that.

ZS5DJ KG59aa to FR5DN LG78qs : 2629 Km (144 ssb and FM)
1250z, Dave was 56, he gave me 57 ssb.
Then we made some tests on FM a bit later on and we exchanged 57/57.
1813z he was still 56-57, i was 56.

ZS5LEE was also on after 16z and we made it 2m JT (-3db), then we switched 2m ssb, and he was 55 here.
He got me 51 without preamp.

ZS2ACP KF26sa to FR5DN LG78qs : 3249 Km (144 digital)
Around 1643z Andre was there on 2m JT, he was -10db at best here.

ZS2GK was still 59 here.

ZS2ABF Peter in KF37 joined us around 20z on 2m JT (-12db).
Then we made it ssb, we exchanged 53/52. His signal was building up to 57-58 after 21z.

ZS2AH John came on around 2115z, and we made it 2m SSB with 55/59

Several qso occured with most stations as cdx were building up.

2010-09-14

ZS2ABF was on 1415z.

Then i had to leave home very quickly, so no more to say.

2010-09-15

ZS5DJ was on 2m JT around 0730z.

ZS2GK was there in afternoon, and made some tests with FR1GZ Yvon, but cdx were down.

10-Some comments

Equipment at FR5DN :

On 2m:
In "beacon mode", 70-80w out into 17el F9FT-13dbd yagi at 6.5m above ground.
Old PC dedicated to the 2m station for digital modes and AIS receiver (modified FT-2500M).
For qso, i can use up to 120w out max in shack
Mast mounted LNA with BF981 feed through coax, no measurement on NF.
Coax is a low loss rigid coax LCF12-50, with some ecoflex 10.
I use separate TX and RX lines, which make things much more flexible, RX line is standard RG-213.
RX is Kenwood R-5000.
TRX for beacon and qso is dedicated Kenwood TR-9000.

Again, these qso are in reach of medium to small stations for sure!

On 70cms:

I was running a single 21 el yagi at 9.5m above ground.
Low loss coax, mixed length of hardline 7/8 and some length of lcf12-50 and LCF14-50.
Power was 40w in-shack.
Mast mounted LNA 33db gain, 0.3db NF. Loss before LNA is around 0.9db!
RX is separated rx : LT70s converter with FT-990, 28Mhz IF.

The antennas used for the qsos:

Tks to All, and see you next opening !
