This early morning , I did catch a signal on 40m band SSB with my Mobile Antenna fixed on my balcony in my home QTH, and I was in Short Wave Listening at the morning. It was very strong JA Big gun. He was using 2elements Yagi of 30m high running 1000Watts. He was just working with "F4" station of France!
(Japanese Standard Time 4:00 AM August 24 2008, 20:00 UTC / 7.060 MHz SSB on frequency)
And it was incredible! I could also hear and read the signal coming from France on my system, into my Balcony's Mobile Antenna about only 2m length. But it was No Signal that my radio IC703 said on his display. It did mean that it was impossible to make QSO with the French station for me. But anyway I was very happy for me to hear and well read the signal on 40m SSB coming from France this morning.
And after that, the JA station did not finish his working. With some European stations, Belgium, Finland, Russia and Germany etc. I could receive some signals from Europe on "S5-S7"!!! (it was Belgian stations) with my Mobile antenna. On the other hand, there were some signals impossible to read well for my system.
It was very exciting for me to listening this morning 40m band, anyway.
