I had left the IC-7300 switched on during the contest to monitor 4 m propagation as an indicator for possible 2 m ES. There was indeed an opening just not here. 🙁 When I saw EI9E/P pop up on the bandscope with an S9++ signal I couldn’t resist to give him some points, too. 😉
EI9E/P contesting via Sporadic-E on 4 m:
Also worked two new ones with 5T5PA and 9G2HO on 6 m. This is were digital works out nicely besides CW/SSB on another band in parallel. 😉 KM15 was new square on 4 m and then there was another short 5 min opening on 4 m after the contest …
