I finally managed to get out and do another POTA activation yesterday, I needed to, it's been over a week since my last one, and it was time to escape from the house for a while.
The temperature was above zero....well, just...it was +1C. The wind was pretty cold though, which certainly didn't help.
The propagation numbers were: SFI=134, SN=23, A Index=7, and the K Index=2. There was some QSB but not a lot, in fact it really didn't bother me at all.
As usual in winter I used my KX3 and hamsticks for ease of set-up and yesterday was no different. It was a slow day POTA wise, but I did hear many station taking part in the Russian DX Contest. Be what it may, but I only managed to put 11 contacts in the log. I did make contacts with DX stations in Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, and the Dominican Republic. Not bad for 10w and a 10m Hamstick!!
Here's yesterday's contact map:
Stay Safe Out There!!
