#6m ZL1RS received?

Spot on 075745 GMT

    My initial thought was that this has to be a pirate. There was no evidence of any propagation in the direction of New Zealand here. However my antenna was pointed into the direction of ZL and I was not the only one that saw ZL1RS. Checking PSK reporter, ZL1RS was active. However, what made this suspicious is the time ZL1RS was only receiving stations in Europe at around 05:45 GMT. Now, PSKreporter does not plot everything, so it is still possible this was the real ZL1RS.

#6m very spotty propagation across the Atlantic ocean

 

Very spotty propagation across the Atlantic Ocean. Signals fading in and out with lots of QSB. But at least I was heard in east coast Canada and Florida USA. Made only 1 QSO to WB2REM. Other stations I saw have already been worked B4.

#4m Austria worked

 

    Franz OE3FVU is actually also Dutch. Spoke to him many times. I knew he was active on 4m and my wish was to get him for a new 4m DXCC. Put the call in HAM Alert and waited. Saw him spotted several times but couldn't see him. Until this evening it was. Suddenly his signal came up long enough to make a QSO. Thanks for the new one Franz.
