Russian DX 2009 Setup

more

Replaced the TS870 SO2R setup:
2x IC756Pro3 (INRAD) & IC4KL for the 2nd radio.
The WX0B filters, TopTen decoders and
HP Omnibook XE3's with WT v3 are still the same.

80m INV V DP @17m,
40m Rotary DP @21m, KT34A @18m

Wanted: Signal Reports & Audio Files

I highly appreciate any notes on my signal strength compared to other DLs or Europeans, and audio/tone quality.  Strength may vary with the operating category and different station setups, however.

If you are capable of recording audio from your radio, a .WAV file would be most welcome!

E-mail to DL1IAO@contesting.com

Thank you!
