We planned a full night at the 'Big Gun'station this time.
Our main focus would be 40 meter CW and SSB.I also wamted to work 3Y0E and CE0Z/LA6IKA as a new country.
Pile ups were hugh from South-America and we enjoyed the good signals from VK/ZL long path in the morning.Enjoy watching the video, 73/Rob/PA3GVI

  • I am sure you could have found worse music but not much worse

  • @burt2481

    Burt, you are getting old my friend!

    This is the second time that you need to tell me about your taste of music.

  • I want to see that station but I hope I hear you on the air sometime soon Iam located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Maybe field I hear from you

    Thanks for the video

  • @KJ4UNR

    Hi and thank for replying...we have been at that commercial station a couple times but now it is in use by the goverment on another level.

    It was sure great to work with these antennas, specially on 40 meters.

    Hope to talk to you some time from home or PI4W contest station.

  • 500KW, antennas that go way up to the moon. So what is the challenge ?

  • @maciejwrotek

    We use an Drake L4B amplifier, the broadcast station which normally runs with 500Kw was off air when we were there.

    What's the challenge???...just the experiance to work with such an antenna with 22 Db gain and 7 degree take off angle.

    Wouldn't you go for the experiance?

  • @ammanboss : Why would getting the chance to operate from a broadcast station be hamradio dislike?

    Wouldn't you go for the experiance?

  • Nice vid thank you GW6 TTK

  • @PA3GVI I thought I said it before but I searched comments and missed it. Dumb me

  • FYI -- the song at the beginning of this excellent vid is AC/DC's "Big Gun" single, great tune for the vid !!!

    Jamieduk999 -- SSB's advantage is that it's narrow-band, uses much less space on the airwaves than its predecessor mode, AM.

  • ok what is the advantage of ssb over any other band?

  • Great video.

    I would love to have the same opportunity

    All the best from England

  • I'd love to know how this all works but I don't even know where to start.

  • This is Tony KC9QVE this is an excellent video from the big gun station perspective.
