Perseids activity 2013 from JP40JV
Again I went on a small expedition to a more interesting square, after a few years of low activity or activity from the home square.
I was accompanied by my colleague Peter LA7WRA, who got a "swim or dive" introduction into MS. The location was a private cottage at 950 m asl in a mountain area. Take-off was quite good towards UA3/UT and EI/G. In direction to I/OK/DL a minor obstruction through a little hill resulted in 1-2 deg elevation, but did not hurt much.
The maximum was predicted for 18-20 UTC on August 12, but for us the best reflections were around noon on that day, and also August 13.
Below is the list of complete contacts made.

All contacts were made in FSK.
RIG: IC-821H, PA 2 x 4CX250B, antenna 2 x 9-ele-yagi (Vårgårda)
I also worked MS on 4 m for the first time. The PC with FSK-software was busy on 2 m, so all contacts were made in SSB using 30s periods.
This worked rather well, since the duration of reflections is 4 times lomnger on 4 m as compared to 2 m.
But for the future I shall try to get some more output power. To avoid interference, the periods were synchronized with 2 m.
