Is it 20m or 60m?


After some quiet days on 10m, with low propagation and only some faint signals that could just be decoded, I decided to tune the rig to 60m FT8 again last evening. When I saw the waterfall I checked the frequency was not on 20m or 40m and checked again. Not believing my eyes how many signals I saw! The propagation was very good, no doubt. Not only Europe but at the same time Asia, South America, South Africa and North America. I think the propagation was worldwide both long/shortpath at the same time? At least got my own signal decoded again once! A strange experience! It was hard to find a free spot in the waterfall to get my signal out. Managed to work China BA4RF for the first time.
