2-M Aurora QSO |
This WAV file was recorded by W1FIG
several years ago when he and I made a random 2-M
SSB Aurora QSO. W1FIG was in FN41 and I was in EN70.
The distance is just under 720 miles. I was running 1kw to a
single 17B2 at 80 feet. I enjoy making contacts via VHF SSB Aurora
due to the extreme difficulty created from fading, frequency shifts
and signal distortions. The key to making these contacts is to
slow your speech way, way down and to use simple and clear
words. Try it some day, you will have a blast. |

2-M QSO with Endeavor |
This WAV file is a recording I made in
1995 from northern Virginia of a QSO on 2-M FM simplex between
myself (WD8BYA back then) and WA4SIR (Ron Parise) while he was on
board the space shuttle Endeavor. Ron was extremely generous
by sending my young daughter a nice autographed photograph of
himself and arranging a sked with me so that we could have
an opportunity to speak with him while he was orbiting in space. The
equipment then was a FT-726R into a 160 watt brick feeding a pair of
Cushcraft 4218 yagi's at 60 feet. |
