GW4VXE's Station Diary

3Y0K were loud on 10m FT8 this morning. Tried them a couple of times for 20 minutes or so without any luck. I didn't see them work any UK stations at all. It was mostly Italians and Eastern Europeans.

I went on for the 13z CWT. 10 and 15m were poor. Nothing on 10m and 15m was marginal into the USA, with only the big guns being workable.

The 'usual' Wednesday 80m SSB sked with Roger GW5NF went well.

A few weak signals from J51A on 6m this afternoon.

19z CWT saw 15m fair to North America - a few west coast US and VE6RST. The Californians were just audible, but not workable with stronger stations calling them. 20m was fair to North America. No sign of VK2GR this week. I've dropped the 40m dipole down a bit as we are expecting strong winds over night, so didn't go on 40/80m.

Just as I'd got to the sitting room after finishing with the CWT, I had a message from Justin G4TSH reminding me about the 80m CC this evening, so popped back up to the shack and worked a handful....
