GW4VXE's Station Diary

Bit of 6m Es to the south of Spain and Portugal this morning. J51A appeared too, but not that strong here, or not at least when I was in the shack. TZ1CE appeared a couple of times too - though not too strong.

3Y0K appeared from Bouvet. Heard them on both 12 and 17m, at least I think I did - there has been some pirate operation too. Assuming it was genuine, the signals were decent enough and given time, hopefully I can make a QSO.

Bodged an adapter to make the 80m dipole into a T with a view to tuning it on top band. It's very noisy, but I managed to work Pete MM9SQL operating as GM5G.

After being heard in Japan on 80m FT8 last night, I thought I'd hang out on 3574. Only heard 2 JAs all evening at tiny strength. Not wasted though, both 4K6SA and TA2NEH were new band countries. Heard DU2W as well, but no luck.

Picked up J51A on 40m FT8 (just missed them on CW) for the last band - except 6m.
