2002 Long Path propagation to Hawaii on 6m
Prendendo spunto dagli studi e delle analisi condotte da Jim Kennedy KH6/K6MIO, da Silvio IW1AZJ e da altri articoli su riviste specializzate analizziamo ciò che è avvenuto in banda 6m durante la seconda metà del mese di marzo 2002 con collegamenti fra le Isole Hawaii ed il Sud Europa attraverso il Polo Sud.
Starting from the studies and analyzes conducted by Jim Kennedy KH6 / K6MIO, by Silvio IW1AZJ and other articles in specialized magazines, we analyze what happened in the 6m band during the second half of March 2002 through Qso between the Hawaiian Islands and the Southern Europe through the South Pole.
Bibliografia
Le prime avvisaglie di TPL (Transpolar Long-Path Propagation) si sono avute verso il 10 marzo con le stazioni hawaiiane che “cercavano” il qso in 6m Long Path cioè via lunga attraverso il Polo Sud.
The first signs of TPL (Transpolar Long-Path Propagation) occurred around March 10 with the Hawaiian stations “looking for” the QSO in 6m Long Path, through the South Pole.

Esperienza personale di IW9CER
Il 29/03/2002 ho fatto qso alle 10:55 z con Jim KH6/K6MIO ( Grid BK29 ) in SSB con segnali forti
On 29 March 2002 I qso at 10:55 z with Jim KH6 / K6MIO (Grid BK29) in SSB with strong signals
Ascolta il segnale in fonia di Jim KH6/K6MIO registrato da Tony IW9CER
Listen to Jim’s KH6 / K6MIO voice signal recorded by Tony IW9CER

a seguire 10:56z KH7R (Grid BL01) in SSB con segnale molto forte a tratti anche oltre s9
following 10: 56z KH7R (Grid BL01) in SSB with very strong signal at times even beyond s9

Ascolta il segnale di KH7R in fonia registrato da Tony IW9CER
di seguito 11:04z lavorato WH6O (Grid BL11) sempre in fonia.
below 11: 04z worked WH6O (Grid BL11) always in SSB.
Ascoltato per circa 15 minuti il beacon KH6HME in BK29.
Listened to the KH6HME beacon in BK29 for about 15 minutes.
L’apertura del 29 marzo 2002 è iniziata alle 10z circa ed è finita alle 11.40z circa, durante l’apertura i segnali erano incredibilmente forti ed ho verificato più volte la presenza del beacon KH6HME in BK29. L’ antenna era diretta sui 170° circa. Tony IW9CER
The opening on 29 March 2002 began at around 10z and ended at around 11.40z, during the opening the signals were incredibly strong and I repeatedly checked the presence of the KH6HME beacon in BK29. The antenna was directed at approximately 170 °. Tony IW9CER
