Yet another bad week on Ten Metres. Sunday was about the best day. TU5PCT (Ivory Coast) was popular as was EA8URT (Canary Is), VP8PJ (South Orkney Is), FY5KE (French Guiana) and ZW86LABRE (Brazil).
Again, I worked just a few European stations on FT8 and FT4. There is a lot of consternation about missing QSOs especially during contests on FT8. These are being called NIL or Not In Log. It would appear there is a genuine problem but I’ve not heard of an answer to it yet. I understand the WSJT-X team is working on it.
Steve, M0BPQ , reports that he worked VP8PJ on CW, 529 on Wednesday. He says, “I haven't been on 10m much, but was amazed to hear the VP8PJ team come through on 10m at this point in the cycle.” Long time no hear Steve!
