Tae Su Song was a pretty decent signal on 20m
during the the annual
WAE DX Contest. ...
...it was about 20 minutes before I got a look in
- not least because the usual European QRM meant it was hard to

period when I was able to get noticed. But it was hard work!
A serious antenna setup always helps...
ds3exx produced this 30 meter tower antenna by

It is possibly the best and most active personal ham website I
have ever seen.
Top work.
Pay it visit and use the chrome translate option,
it translates very well.

perfectly good, so I suspect this may have been one of those
sounds that the Far Eastern ear is not tuned to. I shall think up
a work around, and avoid using it in future.

"nine" is sometimes not well heard in the oriental lug
