GW4VXE's Station Diary

Notes from my ham radio adventures

Mar 12 2026: SF=129, A=9, K=2


Another half hour calling 3Y0K on 10m FT8 - still no QSO! They came up well in strength at one point.

ZS6NK and ZS6OB both heard on 6m FT8 around lunchtime.

On 12m CW, it was nice to work Nigel G3TXF operating as 3B8XF. Nigel will be taking part in the Commonwealth Contest this coming weekend.

Allen N2KW is in Bermuda for the Commonwealth Contest and it was nice to work him as N2KW/VP9 on both 12 and 15m this afternoon.

Could hear Nigel on 30m around 2200z but he had a JA pileup and the short vertical doesn't work that well. Wind should be dropping tomorrow, so hopefully will have the big vertical back up. Nice to work VP2MAA on 20m though.
