LEONIDS 1999 Uf, what a shower! The shower that I will remember for a long time!Due to my business trip to 4L - Georgia* S53WW and me cancelled Marconi Memorial Contest and decided that the Leonids shower will be the last activity this year from the our club cottage in JN75DS, 1268m a.s.l. In mid time Robi had completed the new switch box which allow us to run in the parallel two antenna systems with two RTXs. (That is because one microphone is not sufficient for two operators, hi!). We went on location for the first time in the Tuesday afternoon. There was 15cm of snow and temperature 6 degrees bellow zero. We set up both antenna systems and tested the equipment. Just one hour was needed that the SWR was to high and the antennas were unusable. We left everything and withdrew back to dale. The weather forecast for Wednesday and Thursday was again snows but the decision was clear - whatever will happen we are going to be on the air. We went back the next morning. The snow and the strong wind started in the afternoon and last until Thursday morning when the sunny day came out and brought us 50 cm of snow and over 1m in the snowdrifts. Almost during the all night we had a high static noise and in addition the uncountable stations from S5, I and 9A were on the air. Although we were running the two systems in parallel we had managed to complete only 28 QSOs, which is far bellow the expectations. In the morning we also found out that the indication of second antenna was absolutely wrong (100 degrees!). That is the reason for higher number of EA and F stations in compare to the number of all QSOs. Most of the time the second antenna was turned to Africa (hi!) while the first antenna system was mainly faced to UA, unfortunately with the poor efficiency. In the morning time we were observing what is happened if the antenna systems are different faced with difference about 30-45 degrees by azimuth. Only few reflections were heard on both antennas!! Second antenna had 10 degrees elevation.The most important part of Leonids shower - how to turn back to home - left for the end. Transportation was impossible so we were wading with the rucksacks and bags for about 2 hours until we reached the place where they picked up us with a jeep. However, we still finished the expedition soon enough because the next night had brought the new snow. The jokes on the frequency that we will stay on the top of the mountain till Spring haven’t become reality. Bellow is extract from the LOG. All QSOs are random, SSB.
