Hi All,
The 6-th day of operation has passed very smooth. 45.000 QSOs water mark was passed as well. The pile-ups are getting smaller, primarily on higher bands. I personally made 5 QSOs last night on 3 bands and 3 modes within 90 minutes on 21/24/28. (22:45z-00:20z). This should be good opportunity for 'small pistols'. Following strong demand they started 10 MHz operation at 07:30z, with light weight pile-up. Was easy to work even with 100W and dipole. They remain active on lower bands at gray-line windows for EU, and North America. My observation that they start too late for EU on lower bands. About an hour earlier should be better. Specially tonite they were QRV for General class on 7025. This is also in response to your demands. There was a lot of RTTY/PSK QSOs, but I have not seen any SSTV spots. Not sure if they worked that mode yesterday. I have seen couple of spots on 6 mtrs from VK. This is probably in response to demands for this band operation that we passed to the team earlier.

As per schedule satellite operation should start today, or tomorrow the latest.
