6 meter opening
Between 10 and 12 o'clock UTC there was a great opening on 6 meter. I worked TA1BM with JT65 on 50.276 MHz. 2233 km. It was my 28th DXCC on 6 meter. Also worked LZ2FP.
30 m noise
At 16 UTC the noise came in on 30 meters. I see often this kind of noise on 30 meters. Nevertheless, I did a good job with WSPR (5W and end fed antenna)
The XYL and my daughter are having fun in Dubai. Yesterday they went into the Dubai dessert. We keep contact with Facetime every night.
That’s it
On 6 meter CW I worked EA6SA Josep from the Balearic Islands, we met every year here on 6 meter band.
First 6 meter contact this season
ETM-2b keyer
This electronic keyer is the only one I had in years. The ETM-2b is ready for the ham radio museum and is 38 years old and still doing its job very well. I made a lot of qso’s over the years with this keyer. I can’t say good bye to this keyer. It will be companion until the end.
In the late afternoon I started WSPR on 6 meter. I was spotted by PA3MET 13 times. You can see the doppler effect or air plane reflection because between our QTH's is Amsterdam airport Schiphol with a lot of air traffic.
No radio today because it's my birthday and a lot of family and friends are coming to visit me.
