Again an interesting day on 6m. Although I didn't work new ones I was just unlucky. I did see them for shure. And again PSKreporter does not report everything I see. Like VU4A from Andaman and Nicobar Isl. which I did see, multiple streams, for quite a time. TL8ES was seen briefly, too short to make a contact. Although I was spotted by Elvira. There was a very short opening to the USA, at least from here. But it was very strong for a moment. I worked fellow blogger WW1L.
Other stations I worked today: UN7LZ and UN7PNF from Kazakhstan. I was also spotted in Australia again.
Regular 6m DXers know that propagation can be very spotty on this band. You can work some station and someone 20km away cannot. Unfortunatly for me F2 propagation is a bit less spotty and since many stations are calling I have less chance to make the contact. I noticed that with VU4A, they seemed to be heard across Europe. You also need a bit of luck, the luck that you are some of the first calling towards the DX. It's fine with me, what would be the fun if every contact was easy.
