The only thing I have done for the past week was a few new IOTA. Have to mention OC-261 that I worked on the 16 of August. Call was VK5CE/P. On the 18 of August I worked OC-142 with the call VK4WIR/P. Both where on 20 m band and VK5CE/P was on SSB and the other one was on CW.
There is also a station from Mali, TZ6BB QRV on the bands. Worked him last night on 20 m CW.
Have to show you a Picture of one of my favourite Engines during my working Days. It is a P&W R-2800 radial Engine with 18 cylinders.
Nice! We used it on the Convair 340/440 and was running it in CB16 (2400 Hp) or CB17 (2500 Hp) config. The original Engine was from WW2. But there are still a lots of them running out there on different Aircraft's. Amazing Engine. The sound from this baby when it was running on idle was astonishing.
Well that's all for now. CUL
