Uploaded by PA3GVI on Feb 3, 2008
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

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

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?
