GW4VXE's Station Diary

Notes from my ham radio adventures

Sep 3 2026: SF=102, A=6, K=1


Bit of a busy day and didn't make it onto the air until the early evening, following shopping and then doing a cruise ship welcome up at the harbour.

TF89IRA a nice signal and good operator on 20m CW - getting through the pileup nicely.

Just missed an RS-44 pass in the evening but noticed FO-29 due. I hadn't tried FO-29 in a long, long while. Anyway, using OscarWatch, it wasn't too difficult to find myself on the downlink and I was pleased to work IK4JQQ. Didn't hear any DX on the pass when it was up over the Arctic, but I can keep an eye on FO-29 now.
