10.Sept. 2011

Hello everybody. We are in Afghanistan again and will stay to teh end of september.

I have the same tent, a little better equiped IC706MKIIG and dipoles. Also a 10 m long fishing pole for 40 m vertical, but we have strong wind everyday, so I will wait with this vertical. I will try to operate as much as possible.

I have started my web page, which is still under construction. T6JC page is most updated.

I am operating from a tent, so a lot of local QRM. Because of many power generators and similar devices there is an S5 and more constant QRN. Dipoles are low, no high objects around. No space for 40 m and 160 m dipoles. I am giving standard 599 RST, reality is that signals from USA and JA are just over noise. Trying to find BAND/TIME window to VK/ZL with no succes till now.

Many e-mails come in, asking about confirmation that call is in log. I have no time to answer, because I also have many official and e-mails from home. Nearest internet is 500 m from our tent. Now I am trying to operate in the morning before job, a little at lunch brake and at the evening if I am not to tired.

Bands above 17 MHz are closed, I only made cca 30 QSOs on 24 MHz.

Regards from Afganistan
