First 6m Es of the season
May 7, 2026
First 6m Es QSOs of the season for me today down to the south to EA and CN8.
Caught an opening to Italy on 6m in the evening - just worked a few stations remotely from Broad Haven - waiting for a pizza at the beach!
In other news, the Alpha tripped the power to the shack again today - it had been over a week since the last occurrence, so I'd hoped it was fixed! I cleaned it out a bit more thoroughly this time. This morning it tripped as I turned the band switch. I assume it was something physical moved, but it's hard to tell.
