DP0GVN Antarctica QO-100 Split-Mode

You are new on QO-100 and would like to work your first DX Station?
Our DX Station is Felix, DPØGVN it is a club station located at the German Antarctic Research Station in Antarctica.
Felix is a verry experienced DX-Operator for many years and he is working in “Split-Mode”. Split-Mode means, the DX-Station is transmitting on a fixed frequency, listen UP or Down on a variable frequency. In this case he is working "UP" whitch means higher than his transmitted frequency.
1. Turn on you receiver.
2. Switch your SDR into "Full-Duplex Mode" by adding a second receiver.
3. Zoom into the range where your DX -Station is operating.
4. Monitor your DX`s Transmissions and make shur you never transmit on the DX-Stations TX-Frequency.
5. Try to search and tune the stations he`s he is curently in QSO.
6. As soon as he finished QSO, call quick, and make shure, hearing you own transmission back from the Sattelite.
7. If You can`t hear your own signals back, because of 1000 other Stations, stop transmitting!
9. Never increase you transmitting Power just becaus of a pileup!
If you can't clearly hear yourself, the DX will not hear you too.
10. Listen till he has picked you up ore parts of your call.
12. As soon as you realiz he is calling you, answer and confirm your QSO
Your First QO-100 Satellite Split-DX-Contact will be in your Log!

Vielen Dank für das Video! Ich hatte das Vergnügen beim Aufbau der Station dabei zu sein, und zusammen mit Felix und meinem Nachfolger die ersten zarten Signale der Bake zu empfangen. Am nächsten Tag musste ich dann leider abfliegen, und habe erst viel später von den erfolgreichen Erstkontakten erfahren (200 QSOs in zwei Tagen meinte Felix). Nun bin ich selber dabei, mir eine Station zusammenzustellen, und hoffe dann bald mit dort unten in Kontakt zu kommen. 73 de DL3LRM, ex DP0GVN in der 39. Ǜberwinterung.
