Comments:
Condx on 10m this weekend felt very much like 6m at the peak of the solar cycle:
you could spend ages listening to white noise, then some juicy DX would pop up
out of nowhere. The phrase "you have to be in it to win in" was very apt: condx
were so up and down that a little and often was the key, keep checking the band
as condx could go from nothing to super-strength signals in minutes.
Saturday was the better day, with propagation to S.Asia just after dawn, some
good runs into Russia and the Ukraine around 1000z, and a nice opening to North
America 1300-1530, with some strong signals near the end. Sunday was a bit of a
washout, although the VKs were there after dawn and the band opened briefly
into the Caribbean and Central America around 1300z. A few North American
signals were heard, but very weak compared to Sat.
Highlights:
Saturday: VK6IR, VK6AJ, HS0ZGQ, XU7FMZ, CW5W
Sunday: VU2DSI, ZS6BRZ, Z21DXI, VP5CW, WP3C, HK3O, HI3TEJ
Equipment:
Icom IC7400 + amp (300W), 4 ele Sirio yagi (modified CB aerial) at 25ft
All QSOs already uploaded to LoTW. Let's hope for a few more sunspots next
year.
