[amsat-bb] AO16 report

[Robert Turlington <rob_g8ate@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick report on AO16 from the UK, plenty of activity but with increasing levels of QRM and transponder hogging etc.
However have managed to work the following countries in the last month or so
F6,HB9,OZ1,CU2,VE3,IZ8,EA3,OT2,G3,HA6,OE3,DK3,RW3,SP1,UR5,PH7,KA1,EA8,MM0,MW3,GJ6,
SV6,SM5,OY4 & UA9 that 25 countries in 4 continents i.e. Europe,NA,Africa & Asia
Mostly I run 5-10w into a 6 el Quad but at times have to go up to 20w to cut through the QRM.Regards Robert G8ATE
