A week of three halves. It started well and ended well but the middle was a tad short on activity. Nevertheless I had to increase the contacts to 6 to get into the list.
I didn’t work much. I’ve been playing with new feeders for the Windom.
The sought after stations were YL21ICE (Latvian ice hockey special), 3Z1921PS (Poland special), IU5GBQ (Italy), D4Z (Cape Verde contest), E77A (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Eduardo, LU9DCE , says, “Last week of May very bad conditions for Argentina, 2 or 3 contacts in the whole week .. hope they improve.” Conditions not too bad into Europe last week.
Most popular DX ( Six or more contacts, any mode)
