還暦を迎え、身の丈に合った、無理をしない、シンプル・ライフ備忘録

2024年09月

確実に秋のコンディションになってきている感じはするが、日による変化が大きくコンディションの状況を今一つ掴みにくい感じがする。

秋は仕事や地域の行事が多く、シャックに入る時間が短くなる。
シャックに入る時間がちょうどコンディションが良いときと重なれば良いがなかなかそうはいかない。
またコンディションが良い時間帯を狙ってシャックに入りたいが、それもなかなか難しい。
いずれにせよ9月に末になってやっと暑さがマシになったのはありがたい。

9月8日(日)のオールアジアコンテストは28MHzが良く聞こえた。
強力に聞こえる局を呼んでみた。
運用したのは夕食前と夕食後の少しの時間だが、久しぶりに28MHzが賑やかだった。
9月9日(月)は、朝の7MHzでも少しだけ運用することができた。

中米カリブ方面をねらうには、午前中にもう少しワッチすべきだったかな。
UK方面が強力だった。(G, GD, EI)
7MHzでもヨーロッパの信号が朝、5時台に強力に聞こえていた。秋のコンディションかな。

AAコンテストで交換するナンバーはオペレータの年齢。
予想通り若い人が少ない。しかし70代も思ったより少なかった。
JAの局の信号も聞いたが、JAのオペレータは70代が多かったような・・・

8月のTGCネットは、8/3,  8/10,  8/17,  8/24,  8/31の5回。
キー局は、それぞれ7エリア、8エリア、1エリア、1エリア、5エリアの局が担当。

7月は1回しかピックアップしてもらえなかったが、8月は4回チェックインに成功。
今までもそうだが、5エリアとはとにかく相性が悪い。

TGC(トップガンクラブ)のホームページには、TGCネット各回の録音データも載せてある。
録音のデータは、例えば1エリアと7エリアのように複数の場所で同時に録音されている。
それを聞いてみると、強い局はどのエリアにも強力に信号が届いていることがわかる。
ちなみに私の信号は受信エリアによってかなり強さが異なる。
国内のどのエリアにも強力に届くようにするには、電波の打ち上げ角度を考慮してアンテナの高さやアンテナ自体を工夫しないといけないのだろう。

何はともあれ、8月は、全5回中4回にチェックイン成功なので上出来だ。
