9N7AA: LOW BAND ACTIVITY
"After the unsuccessful attempt at the beginning of January, I have now focused on a different geographical area to bring the low bands on the air", Robert, 9N7AA posted to his qrz.com page.
On 30 January he "travelled down to the Terai region close to Chitwan National Park and set up 30 and 40m antenna in a less densely populated area, within the premises of a local lodge, staying only for a single night.
The new location is not completely noise-free, but a huge improvement compared to what I face at my home or on any of the previously explored QTHs. I was able to see/hear several FT8 signal from EU on 160m listening on the 30/40m antenna. I will be back around 18-23 February with antennas covering
160-30m. This new QTH is 6-7 hour drive from home. Everything, up to the last nut & bolt must be carried along, and complete station installed from scratch. Electricity is there and is rather stable. Stay tuned!"
