[KLQRP] Welcome to sked

[Yuri Manukovsky]

  Dear Sirs,
  I would like to tell about sked and as it was looked here, on the other side of the Pond, hi 

  Club station RK3GWW is about 20km from Lipetsk. 
  The chief of station - Victor, UA3GZ  my old friend. 
  In 1980-1990 the chief of this station was I.
  Now the most important advantage of station it super antenna: full-size QQ 2el.40m, 4el.20m, 4el.15m, 6el.10m,  length of boom 10m 

  This antenna was constructed 2 years ago
  So, I take in the car the FT-1000MPMark5 Field and go to village...
  Then I regretted a little that I have not taken my Key (Bencher), it was necessary to me to operate on a self-made Key and there were small problems, hi
  At 13.00 UTC I start to give CQ on 14.060, my PWR=5W,  azimuth of a direction of the antenna 330
  With greater excitement I hear, that me calls K4QO!!
  Very much QSB! His signals from 339 up to 559, some seconds 569
  We communicate with Sir Randy and we wish each other vy 73/72
  Propagation has gone down...
  But we have QRP-QSO!
  I look in my log, write down time and here me amazes , that I have written K4QO, and for Randy gave K4YO. Opps... I do not know why so. 
  I think, that my excitement
  It was a real thrill, hi!   EXCUSE ME, Sir Randy!
  Well, I again give CQ-CQ,  CQ USA...   But nothing...
  13.30 - nothing...14.00 - nothing...14.30 - nothing...
  From time to time I check propagation, I look on SSB 14.100-14.350
  There is a fight! WPX SSB Contest...
  I hear US stations from 55 to 59 +
  OK, propagation is available.  I continue CQ on 14.060 
  Sometimes to me it seems, that someone calls me, but signals is very weak...
  I throw this useless employment and I wait planned sked with AA4XX.
  At 16.00 UTC I call AA4XX de RW3GA... And to me at once answers Paul.
  RST 339-559 very much QSB! But we have QSO! Thank you, Sir Paul
  Your antenna very good job also!
  Dear Sirs, friends,
  So, that I tell after all
  Yes, QRP-QSO's  between us are possible, but it is very heavy, 
  even if have good antennas...
  It is necessary to catch very good propagation and on time
  It is all common truths, hi
  Once again many thanks to everybody!
  Especial thanks Sir Randy, K4QO and Sir Paul, AA4XX !
  72, Yuri RW3GA
  P.S. 
    May be we will try our experiments in the end of April
  I will make photos my 4el.QQ 20m and I will send you soon
