2007 LA/PE1ITR dxpedition to JP31 square
(2009-08-21) PE1ITR
In the summer of 2007 I have the square JP31 activated on 144MHz via Meteor Scatter. It was part of my vacation so I have been qrv for only a few days. The equipment consisted of a IC706MK2G + PA 100W + 9 el DL7ZB. The whole was fed from the battery of the car.
I have every station sent a QSL card. Below a picture of the front:

I tried again from JP31GX this morning to see what I good do, but found very marginal reflections.
Heard DG5AAG calling. Called him 30 minutes but no response. Received some good reflections from PA1VW. Called him about 60 minutes but nothing. Received one reflection from SP2MKO.
Decided to stop activities from this qth and drive up the mountains to a better spot.
See you 5 aug.

LA/PE1ITR JP31GX Picture Takeoff qtf 180 degrees. Mountains at 5 degrees elevation. Not a good VHF location.
We arrived at our vacation location. Just for a test I setup the station to see what it does at this location. I could make a nice qso with PA3CEE. So its possible here for stations around 1000km QRB.
Planned is to be qrv 2007-8-5 from a better location. I try from this location next days in the morning and evenings.

Some stations, PA3CEE, PE1NFE, S54T heard who called me on my cq, but we couldn't make a complete qso.
Tomorrow we are heading for JP31 /JP32
