High (6m) hopes
Once again we saw NLCs (Noctilucent clouds) yesterday evening. This time in the direction NNE, about 30 degrees I think, exactly the Japan direction. So I had high hopes receiving Japan again but it unfortunately didn't happen. However, propagation, especially in the morning, was very good. I managed to work 2 new 6m DXCC, EK7DX from Armenia and 9K2GS from Kuwait. I saw UN3GX and UN6T from Kazakhstan and one CQ from EX8MLT from Kyrgyzstan, QSOs didn't happen. Some stations in Germany had more luck and managed to make it to India this morning. In the afternoon propagation was very unstable and signals were going in and out. Several QSOs went wrong and didn't finish because signals were gone too fast.
Excellent results - both on the radio and in the image! The alignment of any reflecting layers is, I guess, the thing that must be just right. You can get some sort of idea of the whole polar situation, with some days' delay, by looking at: http://lasp.colorado.edu/aim/browse-images.php?dataset=pmc
ReplyDeleteGewoon afwachten Bas en de propagaties goed in de gaten houden. Meer kun je niet doen. Blijven hopen.
