KH7Y on magic band!

What a day! Today I was a very lucky old man working Hawaii on 6m. Fred (KH7Y) was coming LP with a signal of 57  with a lot of flutter in a half an hour opening. It was a really thrilling experience.

Here they are some post-party comments on ON4KST chat.

Cheers…to you all.

Equinox and 6m respond

equinoxf2

Last night was a very interesting one of 6m. It was a kind of celebration of spring equinox. It was a party actually. F2 propagation offered the drinks and south America countries among other were   invited. It started about 21:00z and lasted more than two hours (I do not know exactly  when ended because I got to bed early). South Europe enjoyed it the most.

UPTATE: VP8NO came late to the party! Worked today afternoon. Long live magic band.

This would be the most touching QSL card ever. Elmo, EA5BYP, is currently active from Annobon island in a low profile dxpedition. This hobby is really amazing!

Chasing FT5ZM

ft5zm-pic1

FT5ZM is QRT now. They stopped transmissions a bit earlier because a severe storm is approaching the island. It seams that they will have a rough crossing back.  They kept us busy for two weeks and as was it predicted they proved once more time they are a very capable and efficient crew. We all wish them a safe journey back.

FT5ZM on route…

FT5ZM
FT5ZM on route to Amsterdam island. I worked them this morning in 28021 CW as VK6FZM/MM. They delivered a very decent signal, promising easy QSOs from the island as well.
