Today, I feel quite sad. The propagation is very poor, although we are in equinox period (susceptible to be a good period for DX QSO's....). One more thing, next solar cycle is planned to begin.......next March.....This hurts. Maybe good enough for VP6DX...

Today, the solar flux went below 66...That's what I call a minimum... The only good point is that my static noise went down now to S1-S2, with a very clear 20m band starting from 20:00z.. Really don't know what happened. Let's be optimistic, the propagation...
Lire la suiteHi all, I had the chance to QSO with Chris 5U5U yesterday late afternoon on 10m. (Very good skip to Africa with also ST100S from Sudan) He's equipped with dipoles, but will put up a 7 elements 6 band beam in the next couple of weeks. As he was already...
Lire la suiteHi all, Well, today has been dedicated to "hunting" 3B7C on the high bands. Cool, a good opening on 12m enabled me to QSO them (S5 max here, but enough, even with my 100W !) So as for now, I'm exactly in the same status as for 3B7SP : 20/17/15 and 12m.......
