Latest From VU3WTI At 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 Notes:
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 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.

Report on 7145 With Recently Installed Inverted V

A 40mb inverted V 40mb centre feed dipole was installed on December 18th(2025) afternoon at my location.Here is the first a few days of reception reports on 7145kHz lsb.

RIG Used :Yaesu FT891
External Antenna:Inverted V, Centre Feed 40mb dipole
Place of Monitoring:Abhayapuri(Assam)(India) NL56hi
Latitude: 26° 20' 31"N
Longitude:090° 39' 34"E

Monitor's QSD Notes:
All time mentioned  in Indian Standard Time(ist) and where possible in Coordinated Universal Time(utc) also & all reports scale as per RST scale parameters(with human touch on some cases)
> indicating onwards ,amateur station's location mentioned as per info available in first bracket after callsign as far as possible followed by Signal Report in RST scale plus report by ear(in RST Scale) .
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.
