Monitor's Note:

From 0858ist approx. onwards VU2YPB was checking his transmitter section of transreceiver with VU3OKB going Up & down by a few kHzs for a few minutes,later return to usual frequency,earlier VU2YPB's audio slightly got distorted(due to slightly low charge level in battery) & he sorted it out by lowering the power slightly (as he often does)but no effect on signal strength level here in my place.He was using his Yaseu commercial transreceiver with battery and homebrewed 40mb horizontal dipole centre feed.His homebrewed antenna has been working fine as per my assessment for a long time.

More reports/observations etc soon.

Monitor's Special Note:

This is a rough diary or logs of amateur stations heard on air with notes of QRN plus QRM sometimes ,any special things,WX conditions etc etc observed during the the monitoring period.There may slight errors here and there in reports time of log and I might have forgotten to mention a few stations heard plus a few stations not copied.I am doing it for my passion for the radio, the hobby plus for sake of records.May be after many years , our up coming generations will find it interesting to read these things.I have a strong feeling that many of our senior hams works on air and their activities as amateurs remain unreported and they were also publicity shy and liked to work silently and their works remain confined to only a few and new generations of amateurs did not know anything of them as such.There was no internet and no platforms as such like today.So, I have taken this platform to report & post what I hear on air and informations about activities of amateurs as I comes to know on air & other sources.And also I like to clarify I take this radio both amateur and BCDXING listening to broadcasting bands as a hobby,experimental aspects etc in case of amateur radio as mentioned in famous definition of Amateur Radio..

Thanks for having patience for reading if anyone reads at all my blog.HI!! HI!!

See You Again!!

Monitor's Notes From The Western Front (of The North East)

Better  Days  if not the best days  Of Monitoring DX Stations On 40mb In The Morning Are Back!!!

As we enter the winter season, the signals of the Hambel Belgaum Net on 7050kHz lsb specially the prenet session from 0620 to 0700ist and from 0700ist the Net itself  for 10 minutes or so  is now audible as per my monitoring observations for a week or so.I can now receive VU2RZA from Chennai the most consistent and reliable reception station on 40mb from Sothern India in recent times ,here in my place and as far as away in Eastern Assam and even in Naharlagun , Arunachal Pradesh.A few days back,senior ham VU3WTS,OM Bimal Chutia received excellent signal of VU2RZA 59 on his BITX 40 with inverted V dipole 40mb from his location at Titabar 18km away from Jorhat In Eastern Assam as per information received.

And this summer from last week of March upto September , the reception of 7050kHz lsb & on 40mb(7000-7200kHz) in general in the morning has not been good at all for DX receptions.There was heavy noise most of the time and difficult to copy DX Stations in the morning on 7145kHz lsb.And even VU2RZA's signal from Chennai was not audible and some occasions audible but very weak.And later , getting annoyed with poor reception on 40mb, a few hams perhaps dismantled their 40mb antenna system (for the time being measure HI HI) installed 20mb antenna and became on air on 20mb in the evening.And another thing I have observed many have opted for  multiband End Feed Half Wave(EFHW) Antenna during the summer.Earlier also , I heard many using this type of antenna.

The reception on 7145kHz lsb in the morning where usually amateur radio operators of Eastern India (also from other parts of India) ,from the North East and Bangladesh joins, has improved and listening many stations on air specially on weekends & holidays.

Let share me share a few recent morning logs on 40mb.
