GW4VXE's Station Diary

Notes from my ham radio adventures

Apr 8 2026; SF=109, A=9, K=2


Paul G4RRA messaged to say that he'd worked UT1FG/MM this morning but wasn't sure about the square. So far I've only seen one decode from Yuri, presumably by aircraft, so I'm not hopeful of a QSO at this point. On the other hand, it's a misty morning here, which can do wonders for tropo - so we'll see.

As it turned out, I did see a few decodes from Yuri, but nothing consistent that I could try with him.

The most interesting QSO of the day was JW/KK6IK on 20m CW. He was well up the band and had quite a US pileup, but oddly very little from Europe. I've worked a few stations from JW in the past, but it's always pretty rare.
