#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.

#6m propagation to South America

 


Earlier this week I've seen some Argentinian stations. This time there were plenty PY stations with signals till +1dB on FT8 at sunset. I've also been spotted at D4 (Cape Verde). Of course it was very busy with a lot of callers. I've managed just one QSO with PY and one with CU2 (Azores). This is the time you should monitor the magic band more often, especially in the greyline times. I hope some propagation to the USA/Canada will occur soon.
