GW4VXE's Station Diary

Bands a bit uninspiring today so chased a few SOTA summits which was fun. 10m quite interesting on southerly paths in the afternoon. Nice to work 3B8 and a weak (for him) CX5FK. Tried to work YB0ECT on 12m in the afternoon, but he couldn't hear me (or an EI that was calling around the same time).

Oh, and a nice chat with Wlad, US7IGN. Wlad was on Radio 4 early on in the Ukraine war with a documentary of how he operated from his flat in Kyiv and how the radio kept him company. It's always nice to hear him.

Power switch on the GW3NWS PSU seems a bit intermittent. I've left it on all day but will probably need to open it up and have a look in due course.

3Y0K from Bouvet due to be on in the next day or so.

Finished up with 30 minutes in the 80m CC once we got in from Haverfordwest. Worked the usual suspects. Listened to J51A coming through on 80m FT8 at the end of the contest - they were loud. Should be workable!
