Notice: 32 MHz propagation tests - Sat 27th Jan 2024


Phil, EI9KP is located in the north-west of Ireland and he reports that he will be conducting propagation experiments on 32.013 MHz on Saturday 27th January 2024 from 09:00 to 17:00 UTC.

And yes, before anyone asks, that's not a mistake. Radio amateurs in Ireland have permission to use 32 MHz.

He will be running 5-watts into a vertical dipole and will use FT8 and CW to ID.

Reception reports are welcome.

    Receiving the beacon - 16 to - 18dB in Portugal IM67 from an easterly direction at 0920 so must be backscatter.
    73's,

    Two decodes here, both likely to be backscatter while I was beaming East.

    Now (15:20 UTC) propagation improved a bit and I can decode the CW signal on 32013.0 kHz by ear, passing full locator IO54MB.
