Amazing 6m propagation 9 July

 Some amazing propagation especially to Japan/South Korea during local morning. It did last for hours, first station I worked was at 07:23 UTC and last at 09:48 UTC. When I switched on the station my screen was already too small to view all the Japanese stations both on 50.313/323. Worked 17 Japanese and 1 South Korean station.


Normally we can see Japan every year but propagation only lasts for 5-10 minutes if you're lucky. This time was different and I saw some of the stations with a -2dB signal. With other words....a SSB QSO would probabely possible!


Note that again PSKR does not register everything. This is probabely only half of the stations I really received. The south korean station was not even displayed despite his strong -5dB signal. Saw many other south korean stations by the way.

When I returned after lunch I saw DG4KLK on KST chat asking for a Q65 test. Well, so far I never made any Q65 QSO.


Till today that is. My first Q65 QSO is a fact.
