From 
I was really looking forward to the Perseids, even though I had zero experience with this operation. It is completely different to read about meteor scatter and experience it. I caught the first signal already during the weekend, but only tropo - OM3KDX. I hung up on them and watched how FSK441 connections were made. It helped me a lot in the following days.
It was already clear in advance that I would not sleep from Tuesday to Wednesday, the night when the maximum was expected. I monitored the SSB random frequency only sporadically and heard nothing apart from a few pings. I spent most of my time on FSK441 and it paid off…
I wasn't going to broadcast, I was only monitoring other stations, so I directed the antenna (9el. Cue Dee) to 'Lomničák', which is a proven direction for reflection almost anywhere. When I got tired of hearing the noise at 144.200 I retuned it to 144.370 and soon I had a beautiful bounce ON4AVJ (click on the tag to listen or download the WAV file). I didn't need a better awakening and encouragement...
Väčšiu časť noci pílil nervy HA5KDQ, ktorý neprestajne cékvil a cékvil presne na zvolávacej frekvencii. Väčšina staníc však využívala možnosti QSY . Jednou z takýchto staníc bol aj Zdeněk OK1DFC (click on the mark to listen or download a WAV file). I still 'saw' OK2WC from OK, nobody from OM except OM3KDX.
I caught the most powerful bounce at 2.12 seconds, about six seconds long. He was DJ9YE (click on the tag to listen or download the WAV file). I lasted until half past three because I had to go to work in the morning…. I caught about two dozen different warblers (DL, HA, LZ, ON, SM, OZ, I, UR, UA and OK). However, I am extremely satisfied and will do my best to make KN09 available to interested parties as soon as possible.
