80 Meters - 1 Hz or better

 

40 Meters - .5 Hz or better

 

The second "Sudden FMT" was another success with a total of 47 measurements. Up from 18, for the first FMT, last week.  In general most reported better conditions, with less noise and stronger signals this week. The stronger signal may have had something to do with my power. Up from 50 watts, to 225 watts on 80 meters, and 350 watts on 40 meters. Paul (K9PS) tops the 80 meter list, and Bill VE2IQ tops the 40 meter list. There were 13 readings on 80 meters and 8 readings on 40 meters better than .1Hz and the K index at 00:00 UTC was "1" so conditions must have been fairly stable. 

I would like to thank Isidro (EA8NQ) and Peter (G8ZZR) for staying up late or getting up early and participating in the test.

The next FMT will be Wednesday night April 11.

    10:30 PM EDT 

    9:30 PM CDT

    8:30 PM MDT

    7:30 PM PDT

    02:30 UTC

 

The 80 meter run will be first, followed immediately by the 40 meter run and ending with the 160 meter run.

80 meter frequency will be near 3550000 Hz

40 meter frequency will be near 7055000 Hz

160 meter frequency will be near 1887000 Hz

 

I don't really expect 160 will be useable by most of the group, but thought I would throw it in for the fun of it. We will do a 30 meter run soon.

 

Send your results and comments with in 22 hours to k5cm-2@suddenlink.net 

Put  "Sudden FMT", your Call, your State, and frequency in Hz, in the subject line

     i.e.- Sudden FMT, K5CM, OK, 3550300.307 Hz, 7055034.7 Hz

I will try to have the results posted within 48 hours after the test.
