4O6EME

YU6/DL3OCH

Republika Crna Gora

MONTENEGRO

I was active from the Republic of  Montenegro in October and November 2006. On the way there, I activate Bosnia-Herzegovina as T9/DL3OCH (JN92EP, near Trebinje) once more on EME but this time on 70cm. Unfortunately Jans (DL9KR) signal was a little bit to weak. I just saw it in SpecJT with -24dB which is to weak for a CW QSO. At least one QSO with Dan (HB9Q) was completed in CW. In Montenegro I did EME on both 23cm and 70cm. Special thanks to Ranko (YT6A) who made it possible that I have received the nice callsign 4O6EME. I stayed in his nice contest station for five days. I did about 2200 QSOs on short wave, 8 EME QSOs on 23cm and 1 EME QSO on 70cm. There was one more EME activity on the way home where I did 5 more QSOs on 23cm from JN83DO (near Split, Croatia).

Other than EME, I was very active on the short wave bands in CW.
