SAC SSB was fun! 10 meter was open to NA and I suppose I  got a little bit carried away with it and spend way too much time there (over 100 NA contacts!) Anyways working California in early mornining hours (like 01Z) is something exceptional.   Unfortunately KT34XA stack was not operational so had to use single antenna on high bands. Some strangewideband noise causing  some hearing problems,  when beaming to south S7+ noise on all bands.  Plasma TV is first guess..

Thanks for the qsos.

Visited on 10 CW just a while ago and  its looking very promising! JA /ZL/ BY / YB stations are just booming in! Looking forward to get good pileups on 10 meters too.

Managed to fix 80 meter antenna so we are all good for SAC 2011 CW part (SOAB HP).  Still some repair work to do before big ones.

OH7M:

We have been able to get 17m antenna up. 15 meter 6 element monobander  is now repaired & tuned, but we were not able to lift it up on Monday. We managed to get it ready but it was quite windy and was getting a bit too late. Unfortunately wx condx have been worse since then (heavy rain and wind) Propably OH7M station is not QRV during SAC CW.. . It may take just  2 to 3 hours to complete (installation and cable connections), hopefully we get a shot soon before days are too short wx condx gets even worse.

In addition to 15 m lift we still have some work with tower rotators. New motors have been installed but need some relay / limit switch installations as well as  new power cable.
