Rate decent. Activity moderate during the evening hours I was on. Did
work KH6, PJ2T and ZF. Not so much into 6/7/0 land.
QRN was an issue.
Jumped in around 0300z but heard no EU.
Tried again pre SR 0900z but that was a slow go.
Finished with 110 Qs in 3 hrs with 76 unique GS's. in 5 dx
Hi
The situation in the south of zone 16 was very difficult.
Already 23:20 utc - I can't hear radio stations from the USA .
It's almost a disaster...
But still the process has begun !
The first one in my magazine was W1UE.
Many signals were very weak + QSB, QSB ..
But I am very pleased
Conditions were marginal.
I only worked the regulars which I work all year round also during solar
maximum.
NA only east coast, to Texas and Carribean, but nothing above that line.
To the east I heard some JA but not strong enough to make a QSO. HL5IVL
had a big pile up but I did not try.
Well conditions weren't particularly good . . . but they were OK.
I came on for about an hour from 0100Z, and for another hour at 0500Z.
Managed to work a total of 56 NA stations, including across to Louisiana,
Texas, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
I was generally pretty pleased with
