Although still in automutilation mode, this weekend showed some awesome Es openings. Saturday was good for the Caribbean. 8R1DB was worked all over the place. I was lucky to catch him already on the 19th for my 200th DXCC on 6m (!), but Saturday’s opening was much better. I made a “security” QSO just to ensure I am in the log. That QSO was preceeded by YV4DDK in SSB. These QSOs are both on one MP3 track. Before that I was happy to work PJ7/K2GSJ in CW for #201 (no recording). Other goodies included FJ5DX and WP2B.
This morning (Sunday 21st of June) I could work 2 JA4’s. A bit too late out of my bed (Father’s day ceremony first), but still in time to catch JH4IFF and JH4MGU. Listen to the MP3’s below.
Then around late noon a string of East coast USA stations (K1TOL, W1JJ, etc.). First opening from the East coast to hit N-W Europe.
Tonight 8R1DB was heard for several hours again working a large area of Europe. No sign of VP2MRT and J39BS showed up way too late, as usual …
