My towers are down for maintenance but some
interesting winter Es around on 6m I
Radio activity is limited to what I can do from the workshop down in the
valley – LF / HF + QO-100.
I have not been able to take full advantage of the amazing
50MHz SpE
over the past few days but did catch the end of the trans-Atlantic
opening on Friday evening (15th Jan). Only 3 FT8 QSOs but not bad for a
tri-band white stick at 3m and a barefoot IC-7300.
 As
for QO-100 – I have been following the amazing work from Felix DL5XL and
Theressa DC1TH as
DP0POL/MM aboard icebreaker Polarstern heading for the German
Antarctic base. On the deck of an Icebreaker running cw / ssb pileup on
3cm whilst manually pointing dish as ship moves - who said repeaters
were boring -SR2O (single radio 2 operators).
Sat 16th – just worked DP0POL/MM in IC45 for what is probably the last
/mm operation before they arrive at base. Completing a string of new wet
grids for me: HK98 HK82 HJ99 HJ98 HJ95 HJ94 HJ93 HI94 HI91 HI90 HH99
IH09 IH05 IG08 IG04 IG10 IF19 IF10 IE26 IE25 IC47 IC46 IC45 (and I only
took notice once they got south of EA8 ) Click on the image to see map
