These compressed MP3 sound files have been recorded at VE6WZ directly from the FT-1000d or IC-756ProII to the sound board on the PC.
File names: Call, Band, YR/MO/DD. LP= Long path (usually my morning) SP= Short Path (usually my evening)
Click the file and your sound player should be able to play them.
If possible use headphones to improve the copy....these recordings are mostly of difficult, lowband QSO's which are often just at the edge of readability.....some signals are very light, but mostly all Q-5.....afterall...nobody works 80 or 160 without headphones...do they?

160m sound files.....2004/2005 winter season
CW | 420 Kb | A great signal from Chesterfield Island. Some trouble getting my call correct in this recording....at first he has my call as VE7, but at the end we get it all ok. | |
CW | 342 Kb | Alex working them during the 160m contest....listen to VE6AO work them at the end of this recording. Visit his home page here: http://www.qsl.net/d44tt/ | |
CW | 333 Kb | What a signal from CT3 !!! Unbelievably strong in VE6. Listen at the end of the file...Lee, VE7CC works him from the far west coast !!! | |
SSB | 18 Kb | A very short clip of Alex sending "CQ-contest" during the ARRL 160m SSB contest. The D4B contest station always has an outstanding signal on the lowbands. | |
CW | 125 Kb | What a signal from Clive....listen to this....it sounds like 20m, not 160m !! Great conditions this evening. | |
CW | 119 Kb | Another good signal from Marc in Belgium....the signal sounds digital because there was a carrier on this QRG....I had the notch and 240 Hz filter in. | |
CW | 80 Kb | And of coarse...Wolf is always booming in if the band is open !! | |
CW | 31 Kb | Mike was coming through also, but his signal was never as solid as some of the others this evening. |
80m sound files.....2004/2005 winter season
DF2PY_80mcw-04-09-08 | CW-SP | 104 Kb | Wolf is the first EU QSO of the season. He has a very "watery....polar flutter" sound to his signal....this made copy difficult. This polar flutter which is common on the higher bands, is unusual for 80m. |
G3WXX_80mssb-04-09-13 | SSB-SP | 97 Kb | Tony banging in on SSB. |
ZS1JX_80mCW_04-09-17 | CW-SP | 164 Kb | Peter has a loud signal well after his sunrise. |
DF2PY_80mcw-04-09-21 | CW-SP | 117 Kb | Listen to this very strong "multi-path signal distortion" on Wolfs signal. His signal was coming in best beaming at 90 degrees but he was also copiable at 35 deg. direct path. The copy is almost impossible !! E-mail communication with Wolf indicated he hears the same thing on my signal. |
ZS1JX_80mCW-04-09-20 | CW-SP | 146 Kb | Another example of Peters big signal from South Africa. |
G4OFY_80mssb-04-09-27 | SSB-SP | 12 Kb | A very short clip of Les. |

I4VEQ_80mssb-04-10-03 | SSB-SP | 16 Kb | A very short clip of Claudio's signal coming in short path. |
I4VEQ_80mSSB-04-10-03 | SSB-SP | 138 Kb | A longer clip of Claudio booming in with his rotatable dipole....just outstanding signals from Italy. |
TJ3FR_80mcw-04-10-08 | CW-SP | 160 Kb | Cameroon in Africa....a new one on 80m for me !! What a solid signal. |

S9BB_80mcw-04-12-01 | CW-SP | 202 Kb | What a thrill to work this West Africa DX-pedition on 80m....a new one for me. The pile-up was big and mean with lots of east coast callers, and the QSB made copy difficult, but we were able to QSO just about 20 min. after S9 sunrise as his signal peaked. Finding where he was listening in the pile-up was crucial. ***You will need headphones to copy this one*** |
