Greetings Bill
No VKs this morning and only a small
European net. Here is an extract of my log:
06:20z CQ RI Net. No replies. The band was
almost dead.
06:50z PA2X, Cees. 59. Fine signal, but
Cees quickly dropped to my noise level and then disappeared entirely.
07:00z OK1XFL, Librec, 54 - 59 with me.
Visitor, living N of Prag. Asked for QSO in German and Cees and Klaus
complied.
07:08z OZ1JK, Jörgen. 59 / 59. Visitor, old
friend of Klaus. QSO this time in Danish.
07:15z G4YZE, Bill, 56 - 59. Interesting
chat about history of the Orkney Islands, - interrupted by our CQ RI Net
calls.
07:22z G4JVW, Bill. 56 - 59. I am sad that
we could not make it a triangle QSO. Thanks for calling in, Bill.
07:30z Net closed. Continued with Bill,
G4YZE, until 07:39z when Bill QSYed to 80 meters.
During the past week, I worked VK2BLZ,
Len, regularly around midnight (22:00z). On poor evenings only 55 / 55
or even 45.
It is difficult to get through the US East coast / Central America QRM
curtain. Looking forward to our morning QSOs being possible again.
