A Few Reception Updates on 7145/7090kHz lsb From Abhayapuri

RIG: Yaesu FT891

External Antenna:End Feed Long Wire 

Place Of Reception:Abhayapuri,NL56hi

Latitude: 26° 20' 31" N

Longitude:090° 39' 34" E

Monitored Mode:J3E Class of emission(Amateur Stations)

(For All Monitoring Activites)

Monitor's Sign Notes etc:

All time mentioned  in Indian Standard Time(ist), dates are mentioned in date,month, year format & all reports scale as per RST scale parameters(with human touch on some cases), Signal strength mentioned with perfect readibility unless mentioned otherwise

> indicating onwards ,amateur station's location mentioned as per info available in QRZ.COM  etc & as heard on air in first bracket after callsign as far as possible followed by Signal Report in RST scale plus report by ear(in RST Scale), ? sign has been put on info with doubt, some additional information &  plus special/critical report/monitoring observations may be added.

There may be some errors here & there in reporting time & callsigns etc, I hope it will be taken in amateur spirits.I am working on consistently in improving my reports & posts without any pecuinary interest just for  amateur radio hobby.

Two or three  days back in the morning on 7150kHz lsb, I found a noise. Here is a vedio recording which I like to share with you all..

Before ending this post on series of latest monitoring reports, I like to share a very important information about a deadline of Wireless & Planning Coordination Wing(WPC)  to all amateur radio license holders of India specially those who have obtained  their respective amateur radio licenses manually prior to 2020,  who are yet to migrate to  the new digital format of  license. The last date of applying for digitalisation  is June 15,2026. The applications will have to submit online with necessary documents etc  at 

https://www.saralsanchar.gov.in/

Please check  for background information at

http://qsl.net/vu2jos/Extension.pdf

 Please note WPC is the national radio regulatory  authority ( also looks after amateur radio )of Government Of India under Department of Telecommunication (Ministry of Communication). Please visit https://www.saralsanchar.gov.in/

 Now I leave you with with a recent photograph of Sonaru Tree(Cassia Fistula) taken by me while on visit to a location in our town.

VU3WTS used his Icom IC 7300 and used a homeberwed 20mb inverted v dipole.He was once a regular on 40mb on his BITX 40 QRP and with a linear pumping nearly 50W maximum in the morning. Its a pleasure to note his activation on 20mb.Hope he will be active on 40mb soon.He is working on his 40mb antenna too as per information received.

On Monitor's Possible QSD Note :

Besides all the stations mentioned,there might be a few stations,I forgot to mention & also a few stations I could not copy at all,all these logs were a rough diary of what I heard.There may errors here and there as I am preparing this reception logs from rough notes written while monitoring.

My 7s Logs In The Morning From Abhayapuri

I reactived my amateur radio monitoring on HF bands from September 2024 onwards after a gap for a few months with a long wire end feed with my RIG Yaesu FT 891 and later after a few weeks installed the dual bander inverted V 40/20mb centre feed at the same feedline(coaxial cable RG58) and I noted down a few details of the monitoring sessions in the morning as usual on 7050kHz ,7145kHz,& 7070kHz all in lower side band(lsb) viz.my morning Three 7s... and in addition now another frequency i.e.7090kHz lsb, in addition to add to my Three 7s to make it Four 7s, have to monitor.As for severak weeks now on 7090kHz lsb has been active a few hams from North East primarily a few from Guwahati & one from Shillong in the morning time to time joins for contact(QSO).

I have not heard for a long time QSOs of hams of Assam prinarily members of Amateur Radio Socitey Of Assam(ARSA) on 7070kHz lsb.But once there was regular activities i.e.QSOs on this frequency.And hams of other areas of the North East,West Bengal,Bihar and from other overseas countries viz Bangladesh & Nepal also joins there on 7070kHz lsb for QSO.

Here are the photographs of my rough reception compilations.I have laid all my loose sheets rough written logs cum reports on the table of this blog! HI HI!

  From Monitor's Desk 

And brief summary of my listening period September,2024  till today..on my 7s in the early morning..

VU3BTP OM Harsha from Bokaro Steel City  has become VU2TIW and great signal(excellent modulation) of him 59 always on my Yaseu FT 891 either on On inverted V dipole or end fed long wire viz loud and clear.

Special Mentioned Amateur Radio Station Of The Period Monitored

VU3NYV From The Scotland Of The East..:

On November 5th perhaps perhaps from 0630ist onwards on 7050kHz lsb, I heard strong breaking Signal of a station with callsign VU3NYV several times.But none in the warm up session of The Belgaum Net on 7050kHz lsb  might have not copied his signal as there were no response.I checked the callsign on the internet and found he is Mr. Hajong from NEHU campus,Shillong(Meghalaya)..And later I alerted a few hams about the new amateur station i.e. VU3NYV I heard  from Shillong.Later, I heard him joining 7145kHz lsb & 7070kHz lsb.His signal strength has been S7 to S9 in general with slight QSB.He is using sBIXT with horizontal dipole homebrewed antenna(with 25W maximum on 40mb).I also heard him on 7090kHz lsb with the same reception quality 59 maximum.He also sometimes operates from Nalbari District of Assam and  Ialso  heard him  from there too with 57-55 here atleast twice.That time he used sBITX and the antenna a  homeberwed EFHW antenna.I understand he is a keen homebrewer..He is also active on 20mb and 15mb.And has already made several contacts with amateurs around the world.

You can check his page on QRZ.COM.More about VU3NYV will be posted later.

Monitor's Choice Station From My Home State Assam:

Next, I like to mention one of the active amateur station from Guwahati,VU3HZW.He is very active on 20mb & 15mb.On 40mb too I also heard his loud clear signal here several times.On 20mb, I also heard his signal loud and clear during the winter.He is using uBITX mutiband transreciver with linear amplifier and uses generally mutliband inverted dipole.He is making contacts around the world with both QRP and QRO.He has already contacted more than  47 countries and numerous contacts within India.

.You can find more on VU3HZW on QRZ.Com.
He is also maintaining a website on amateur radio..

As I have already posted my special observation on 20mb during this winter, I just share a link to the report for reference:

VU3LGT was loud and clear on both frequencies.But found 9N1CA weaker than on 7145kHz.

VU2UWO Reactivated This Winter:

OM VU2UWO,popularly known as Rambabu(Ram Narayan Basu-full name) was not heard on several years but I have been listening him on 7145kHz lsb during this winter several times testing his transmission.He is using all homebrewing equipments and the  RIG is GCM 2K.I think it was developed by SK VU3GCM of Kolkata long back.

He is the weakest station this morning on 7145kHz lsb but I have copied him perfectly.
