Not the best of weeks. The weekend was good with the HQ stations in a preponderance and a few K2s still about. R7AB/P (Russia) was top midweek with 9Z4FE (Trinidad & Tobago), TM0HQ (France) and R0HQ (Moscow) also very popular.
Chris DL3GBO , heard OH2GBA on Saturday. He says, “28.400MHz SBB from 14:15 UTC almost 1.5 hours, nice pile-up, excellent operator John, 2 ele stepper, 500W. I also worked IO9HQ 599 with QSB on CW and on Monday LZ3ND 599 +20dB. He was a monster signal for 30 minutes around 18:30 UTC.”
