A bit 6 m DX at least

There was a great opening to the Middle East on 6 m this morning. Unfortunately not much activity …

TIME   CALLSIGN      LOCATOR  TX    RX     BAND   MODE  PROP.  QRB

07:35  9K2NO         LL39XG   599   559    6 m.   CW          3813
07:41  A45XR         LL93DO   599   599    6 m.   CW          4931

Both were reaching real 599 signal levels. It’s quite rare that JO73 gets these kinds of signal strength’! Neither new squares nor DXCCs but very enjoyable nevertheless.

9K2NO via double-hop ES on 50 MHz:

A45XR via triple-hop ES on 50 MHz:

Six was hot all day. Great ES propagation across all Europe with the IARU Region 1 50/70 MHz Contest taking place and thus lots of activity. Handing out a few points every now and then I managed to do some 130 QSOs without much effort. Imagine what could have been possible taking part seriously. 😉
