It was a good day on the bands yesterday....for a change!! The last few days have been particularly bad after the double CME hit, but things are improving. Hopefully today I will catch some DX on the CQ WPX Contest.
I had a first today, I was at Lemoine Park doing a POTA activation (as usual), and I was hunted by Thomas, SM3NRY, a Swedish station. This is the very first time I have worked Sweden doing POTA. Thomas gave me a 58 report, not too bad for 10w into a 15m Hamstick!
Propagation yesterday was: SFI=175, SN=90, A Index=7, K Index=1.
It was a quick activation, only 18 contacts were made, but it was great to be out in the sunshine and a park for even a short time. Just enough to relax and enjoy things.
Here's the contact map:
Stay Safe Out There!
