Yet again a strange week on Ten Metres. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday very poor. Wednesday and Sunday better but even then not really up too much.
C92RU ruled as top DX all week except Monday. The best of the rest were D2EB (Angola), ZW61DF (Brazil), 3B8CW (Mauritius) and 9J2MM (Zambia).
I haven’t work much. I’m waiting for spares and cable to do some improvements.
Reports this week from CD3OPJ, DL1BJW and TI3IES.
Sunday, Omar, CD3OPJ, worked DT8A +03, 8P6PE -16, TI5LEV -20 and NA5WH +11 all on data. He says, “DT8A is South Shetland Islands, KING SE-JONG Antarctic Scientific Base”.
Nice DX Omar!
Thursday, Mike, DL1BJW, worked C37AC -1dB on FT8.
Sunday, Ignacio, TI3IES heard CA4PPC 5/9 on SSB. He says, “We could not complete the QSO because I was working with 15W and the Chilean station did not hear my number, although it copied all my letters correctly, the call was at 19:25 UTC. 73 from Costa Rica.”
That’s a tough one Ignacio.
