Double hop on 4m, triple hop on 6 m

Good to see 4 m open via double hop today. Unfortunately EA8ACW didn’t know that DLs are only allowed between 70.150 and 70.180 MHz and despite a few hints on the DX cluster he didn’t QSY away from 70.200 MHz. A real pity, so still no IL28 wkd. 🙁 Unfortunately I was once again too close to the E-clouds into Finland thus only 2 contacts made. Much more was possible a little further south … but was lucky enough to catch TY2AC on triple hop ES on 6 m later on. Had worked him on CW in the past already and wouldn’t have called him now again if he would have had any callers …
