CS95A is running
Our pre-contest station is now operating on all bands. Most of the anternnas have been fixed, only thye 40m beam needs some more tuning.
I had a nice run on 160m last night with rates over 100, and 160 soun ds completely different from last year, where we operated from EA8, in the city center of Las Palmas. There the noise from the inverted L was as hign as 10 over 9, and we were completely deaf. Now we can hear signals of S2/S3.
I also did some operating on 15 this morning, and the band sounded o.k. The signals will be quite thin this year....

The wx gets better all the time. No rain today. We are now busy to strengthen the mains wiring of the qth to accommodate the amps.
As of tomorrow morning we will be operating full power as CS95A.

I'm going to help my father setup his inverted V antenna this weekend off his 300 foot tower. He is 75 and insists on climbing the tower himself, but I'll never let that happen. He needs it to communicate with his ham friend in Florida.

Did you upgrade your antenna somehow lately?
