HB9AL Captures Stuart VE9CF Calling CQ On 20m (Working LZ7VV)
In an exciting display of international amateur radio communication, Swiss operator HB9AL recently logged a notable contact. The Swiss ham successfully recorded Stuart VE9CF, operating from Canada, working LZ7VV in Bulgaria on the 20-meter band.
HB9AL, using a vertical antenna for reception, noted that Stuart's signal was coming through with excellent strength and clarity, reporting it as 5x9 on the standard RST (Readability, Strength, Tone) scale. This indicates perfect readability, strong signals, and a good tone.
This contact highlights the global nature of amateur radio, with operators from three different continents - Europe, North America, and again Europe - connecting across vast distances. It also demonstrates the effectiveness of the 20-meter band for long-distance communication, especially when conditions are favorable.
Such international contacts are a regular occurrence in ham radio, fostering goodwill and understanding between nations while allowing operators to test their equipment and improve their skills. The hobby thrives in the digital age, providing a unique blend of technology, communication, and camaraderie.
