Topband: 8Q7BM on Topband

[Björn SM0MDG]

Finally I got a decent opening from 8Q to EU last night. A few cluster spots might alos have helped to spike the interest and I logged more than 60 stations in bursts between 1500z and 2100z, 1700-2100z being the best hours.

SK3W is the only skimmer to report my signals and SNR peaked at 42 dB @ 2006z. This should be a good time for Northern EU to listen for me tonight.

We are departing on Monday afternoon. Depending on our sea plane flight schedule from the island to Male I might be able to keep the station up and running until my Sunrise on Monday. If not I will have to take it down Sunday before Sunset. If not tonight and tomorrow will be the last activity. will know more tomorrow.

I plan to be active after dinner which is around 1500z for an hour, then be back later around 1700 or 1800 and continue to around 2100. Then I will be on again in my SR from around 0000-0130. If you hear me please spot or inform others who might be interested. I have no access to the internet at the bungalow/station, so I am not able to exchange any information while active.

QSL via M0URX and LoTW.

GL!
