This Week on the Radio...

Over the past 4 days I've managed to pull off seven POTA activations thanks to the improvement in the propagation.  Hopefully it's only going to get better.   It's been really nice being able to get out to the parks and bask in the nice weather we have been having, it's actually started to warm up here in Eastern Canada, and it's becoming much more comfortable to be outside again.  

Yesterday, down at Lemoine Point -VE-5141, I managed to make contact with several European stations including Rodolfo I4RHP, in Bologna, Italy.  Not too bad for 10w into a hamstick.

Today at Parrott's Bay - VE-5142, although the propagation numbers have improved overnight, my contact number was down, and no DX....but it is a work day, and yesterday was a holiday in the USA so there were more operators on the air.

Todays propagation was SFI=154, SN=179, A Index=4, K Index=1.  There was also some very deep QSB on the bands.  I managed to put 18 contacts in the log, but had to use 40m, 15m, and 20m to get those.  

It looks like the next few days will be good propagation wise.

Here's todays contact map:


Stay Safe Out There!!
