New ones on 6 & 4 m today

Not much to report from the rest of the week. Had another small 4 m opening Tuesday evening but just two QSOs worked. Today was plenty of ES again on 6 & 4 m but most of it was more to the southwest. I was listening to the CS5BAM/B & CS5BFM/B beacons on 4 m for over 3 hours but despite four EA1’s worked on FT8 no other QSOs on Four, pity …

EC4KW provided a new one (#657) on 6 m with IM79, finally. Now only IM89 is missing as the last square in Spain. 😎 It’s been a challenge with these two squares as there is (or was?) still a band 1 TV station down there with protected areas where people are not allowed to transmit at all and beyond that with QRP only for quite some kilometers. So activity from there is quite sparse …

Another new one (#166) was worked with JO81 on 4 m tropo. SP3RNZ/p was visiting a Polish club meeting in JO81RX and took his 4 m gear with him to provide several guys a new one. Many thanks for all your efforts, Greg!
