ES openings early June ’21

The good thing being forced by the doctors to stay at home is you can monitor the bands almost continously even besides doing some QRL work. 😉

June 5 brought a nice one hour 4 m opening to the Balkans and even a few short distance QSOs to HA (around 700 km only).

June 7 saw a great opening on Four to Spain and doublehop to EA8 again (EA8DBM, of course, Alex has a superb station and location often opening the bands and being the only one). Two opened shortly only but at least enabling one QSO:

------------------------------------------------------------------
TIME   CALLSIGN      LOCATOR   TX    RX    BAND  MODE   PROP.  QRB
------------------------------------------------------------------
12:52  EA5IDZ        IM97JW   +17   -02    2 m.  FT8     ES   2067
------------------------------------------------------------------

June 9 saw a good 6 m opening to the Middle East early morning providing QSOs with A41CK/LL93, A65BR & A61ZX, both in LL75, and A71AM/LL55.

9H1FL/JM75 was the only station worked on 4 m. There was double hop on 4m to the Middle East, too!

I was heard with my tiny QRP signal by A92HK, wow! But unfortunately no QSO was made, it would have been a new country on 4 m … 🙁

June 10 had a short 2 m ES to Sicilly:

------------------------------------------------------------------
TIME   CALLSIGN      LOCATOR   TX    RX    BAND  MODE   PROP.  QRB
------------------------------------------------------------------
15:27  IW9ABZ        JM68QD   -05   -05    2 m.  FT8     ES   1673
------------------------------------------------------------------

Four opened very late (after 20z) via double hop again, this time EA8DBM/IL18, EA8/DF4UE in IL38 and CT3HF/IM12 made it into the log. 😎
