Finally 2m Es today...!!!!

Everything very early shows that finally happens. MUF was very high early the morning and lot of inband videos on 70 MHz promises something...good.
And yes... Monitoring on 144.300 I hear few weak signals. Es cloud was over Turkey and I turn the antenna to 25 degrees.  Voila....  RW3LL with huge signal...!!! 

Then all goes easy on 144.308 SSB....

316 QSOs and 2 new Countries

4m it's an obsession...

 

Today's new one and FIRST EVER .....LA4LN

June 5, 4m opening....

A nice Es afternoon...

43 QSO on 4m band and first time with my good friend PA2CHR (Chris)

All day 6m band sounds like 20m.  Many new stations worked (mainly Italians)

OK1TEH has the audio recording of the day on 4m  here

Sporadic E short skip...

Short skip both on 50 MHz  and  70 MHz   but also and 

2 x Es with ODX on 6m the CU3AC (4813 Km)

On 4m once again I get marginal the SV2DCD, my good friend Leo.

Here is the videos:

Leo SV2DCD, and SV6HHD Vaggelis here. 

Later on, I made QSO with YL Litsa SV2MIN (not captured on video)

Again SV2DCD Leo this time on 4m....

Best ever Es season so far...

Incredible openings all May on 6m and 4m....Hope tommorrow to get 2m also. All predictions shows a "big bang" on 2m....

518 QSOs for a about 8 hours  Es opening.  

I lost much time searching and CQing on 4m but results was beatiful.

The pictures above shows the progress of Es on 4m...

Special thanks to my friend Matej (OK1TEH) for DX Cluster support 

and tests on 4m. I manage to work him QRPP with 5 watts 

and a 435 MHz rubber duck antenna from his side....!!!! 

MP3 of QSO with OK1TEH here

Italian afternoon on 6m...

262 Italian stations today on 6m most of them new calls.

I really enjoy the big signals (90%) and the brodcast style modulations. 

Thanks guys....

Easter Holidays...

Great time for relaxing and many hours on radios.  

Propagation makes many surprises specially on 6 and 4m.

More than 2.000 QSOs most of them on HF.

Thanks to all my ham friends for call and QSOs.

SV5FOUR/b  spotted from the very first time on DX Cluster   

(tnx HA1YA for beacon donation) 

The first Es season 6m opening....

Yes, Sporadic E season startsd today for 2013 on 6m band. A hour or bit less opening on 6m band was enough to "smell on air" the summer comes.  

15 QSOs with DL, S5, OK, 9A and IK stations. Strong and deep QSB and 4-5 calls lost under the noise floor.   

Wishes for a nice Es season to all.....!!!

10m SSB FB signals...

Great signals on 10m band the last 10 days...
