Hmm... Interesting propagation on 10mb, to say the least...
This was a part-time effort due to work commitments. I chose 10mb to test my
new antenna system.
The highlights were working ZW7REF and several northern Europeans including
MD0CCE (very strong at times) between 1200~1330 UTC, and then working northern
Europe again just after the sunrise around 2100~2200 UTC, both on Saturday. I
could not believe my ears when G3SED called me at 2144 UTC. Never in my radio
life of more than 30 years, had I worked the UK on 10mb around the local
sunrise. This is generally a time for North/South America on 10mb.
The propagation on Sunday was poor with many European signals arriving via a
skewed path from the Indian Ocean. I called LX7I, OL7O and OK1NG for new
multipliers, but they never heard me.
Thank you for picking up my signal. I will be operating 8N1HQ from Kimitsu
City (@JG1ZUY) on 15mb SSB as part of the IARU HF Championship JARL HQ team.
Looking forward to seeing you all then!
Best 73,
Icko, JA1BPA
