Gimme more VHF DX …

The Sporadic-E season continues to be strong. 😎 Four was open to G, GW, EI & EA in the morning already. At 10z WW1L/FN54 made it into the log on 6 m but should be the only one. 4 m was open to Croatia and Slovenia early afternoon but just two QSOs made, running out of (new) stations to work down there.

2 m opened to the south at the same time:

At 14:20z W9DR/EM78 was caught on 6 m but the band never really opened over here. Four opened again to the west later in the evening and also enabled me to do a few nice SSB contacts in the UK Activity Contest:

The evening was rounded off with double hop to CU1EZ/HM76 in SSB on 6 m and EA8JF/IL38 on 4 m. 😎
