The only G worked was G4CCZ.<\/p>\n<p>12m has been quite good at times, but the opening is here is short and at best, only for an hour or two around 12z.<\/p>\n<p>160m and 80m were very good last night and Bob and I plan to be there again <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_586365842\"><span class=\"aQJ\">tonight<\/span><\/span> from about 21z onwards, although I doubt we will be QRV all night.

However, we do have our G ears turned on, and recognise many of the the calls of our G colleagues calling in the pile-ups.<\/p>\n<p>We plan to try some RTTY <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_586365844\"><span class=\"aQJ\">tomorrow<\/span><\/span>, probably on 20m to start with. Over the weekend we will be on RTTY and WARC bands, away from the contest activity<\/p>\n<p>Some of the guys have gone off to look at the old slave forts along the Cape Coast at Elmina today, so we are down to only three ops.<\/p>\n<p>We are still troubled with our KAT-500 amplifiers tripping out, either from RF or low volts. This is despite the big voltage regulator we&#8217;ve borrowed to stabilize the mains volts, which often drops to 190 volts. We are also experiencing daily power outages and although there is a standby generator here, changeover is not automatic, and very slow.<\/p>\n<p>All of us were delighted with Iain M0PCB&#8217;s effort in the Commonwealth Contest, despite poor conditions. A great way to celebrate his 32nd birthday.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fabulous site for radio, high in the hills above Accra, but has very basic accommodation and is still very much work in progress. We have had to put the good resources of Mr. Fred, G4BWP to procure some decent food locally for the cook here to prepare. However, our Dutch host has been very generous in allowing us to rig our many aerials all over the hotel roof and in the grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we are being constantly troubled by people making duplicate QSOs. Thankfully, not our G friends, but there seems to be a hardcore of EU stations who feel the need to crack the 9G5X pile-up every day, just because they can. It is very annoying!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all the QSOs so far and especially to Charles M0OXO for his good work uploading our logs to Clublog and LoTW.<\/p>\n<p>73 Steve, G3VMW and all the 9G5X crew.<\/p>\n<p><HR width=\"50%\"><br \/>\n<center><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><\/p>\n<h4>Version traduite en Fran\u00e7ais via Google Translate<\/h4>\n<p><\/span><\/b><\/center><br \/>\n<b><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Le 14 Mars 2017<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Le 14 Mars 2017 <\/strong> &#8211; Nous avons eu notre premi\u00e8re br\u00e8ve ouverture sur 10m aujourd&rsquo;hui et avons travaill\u00e9 beaucoup de stations du sud de l&rsquo;UE, mais la propagation \u00e9tait pauvre plus au nord dans l&rsquo;UE. Le seul G a fonctionn\u00e9 \u00e9tait G4CCZ.<\/p>\n<p>Le 12m a \u00e9t\u00e9 assez bon \u00e0 certains moments, mais l&rsquo;ouverture est ici est court et au mieux, seulement pour une heure ou deux autour de 12z.<\/p>\n<p>160m et 80m \u00e9taient tr\u00e8s bons la nuit derni\u00e8re et Bob et moi pr\u00e9voyons d&rsquo;\u00eatre l\u00e0 ce soir \u00e0 partir de 21z, mais je doute que nous serons QRV toute la nuit. Nous avons travaill\u00e9 un couple de ZL sur 80m ce matin \u00e0 environ 06: 15z, et 80m pourrait \u00eatre un bon pari pour les ZLs ayant besoin de 9G.<\/p>\n<p>Les signaux G sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement tr\u00e8s bons sur toutes les bandes avec nous, mais les empilements sont encore assez lourds.

C&rsquo;est malgr\u00e9 le grand r\u00e9gulateur de tension que nous avons emprunt\u00e9 pour stabiliser les volts de secteur, qui tombe souvent \u00e0 190 volts. Nous \u00e9prouvons \u00e9galement des pannes quotidiennes de courant et bien qu&rsquo;il y ait un g\u00e9n\u00e9rateur de r\u00e9serve ici, le changement n&rsquo;est pas automatique, et tr\u00e8s lent.<\/p>\n<p>Nous avons tous \u00e9t\u00e9 ravis de l&rsquo;effort d&rsquo;Iain M0PCB dans le Commonwealth Contest, malgr\u00e9 de mauvaises conditions. Une excellente fa\u00e7on de c\u00e9l\u00e9brer son 32e anniversaire.<\/p>\n<p>Il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;un site fabuleux pour la radio, haut dans les collines au-dessus d&rsquo;Accra, mais a un h\u00e9bergement tr\u00e8s simple et est encore beaucoup de travail en cours. Nous avons d\u00fb mettre les bonnes ressources de M. Fred, G4BWP pour obtenir une nourriture d\u00e9cente localement pour le cuisinier ici pour se pr\u00e9parer. Cependant, notre hollandais h\u00f4te a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s g\u00e9n\u00e9reux en nous permettant de rig notre nombreuses antennes partout sur le toit de l&rsquo;h\u00f4tel et dans le domaine.<\/p>\n<p>Enfin, nous sommes constamment troubl\u00e9s par les gens qui font des QSO en double. Heureusement, pas nos amis G, mais il semble y avoir un nombre important de stations de l&rsquo;UE qui sentent le besoin de craquer le 9G5X pile-up tous les jours, juste parce qu&rsquo;ils peuvent.
