What a super, super Sunday. The rest of the week wasn’t too bad either. Yet again there were some AM70s around I still need a few to get the gold certificate. LU9DCE got in on the act on Saturday. The elusive 4U1A also appeared on Sunday, just Sunday!

Wednesday, John, W2JPG worked WA9YKK -10, KM0NAS -13, N7MDW -13 and AF4O -7.

He heard MANY, his capitalisation. He said regarding last week’s report, “Update: yes Tony that was a typo but the call was EC8AXS, Alfonso Delgado, Tias, Lanzarote. Thursday 5/8/19 the 10 meter band was wide open but I had a meeting to go to so I missed most of the action. p.s. Sticking with FT8 for now.” I knew Tias quite well. I lived fairly close to there in the early 80s.

This Monday he says, “10 meters here in N.E. Pa. USA has been wild since Thursday 5/9/19. Using FT8 Mode I worked 10 contacts on 5/9, 27 contacts on 5/10, 11 contacts on 5/12, and 19 contacts on 5/13. Best contact was SV1CIF Greece (a first for me.)” It’s been pretty hot here too.

KZ1O, Dave , sent a huge report in regarding last Friday. Thanks Dave. It was too difficult to extract all the meaningful information from but he sure did work loads and loads of stations using FT8. And he heard a lot too. Don’t stop sending Dave, I’ll see what I can do to get the meat out of it.
