#6m transatlantic propagation

 

There was some reasonable propagation to USA/Canada yesterday evening. My signal was received by many but only worked a few. The problem is the huge amount of european stations on 50.313MHz FT8. There is an alternative DX frequency 50.323MHz especially for DX but somehow it takes considerable time before DX moves there.

I also worked a new band DXCC which was D4L from Cape Verde. The contact was made on CW, very unusual these days :-). Early in the evening D4L had a real 599 signal over here. And since everyone is on FT8 you now have a chance to work DX with CW/SSB if you listen carefully.
