From Nicholas G4HCK
We made it on Peanut today but HF to VK was a challenge. I just heard Doug but even that was a struggle. I have just looked at the SFI and its 91 excellent. However the K factor is 6 so there must be some solar winds about which is impacting upon DX.
The station will be on again on Wednesday and I will look at 14.294.

Conditions were reasonable. tI was good to have Malcolm join and he was good copy with some. He again promoted his planned 20m afternoon VK/ZL call at 1400, 1500 and 1600z. Bob reported on his GB0RPP activity and also advised that we have a new member, John G0SKR, which is of course good news. All round another interesting net within the context of Lockdown 2.
