Still a bit of tropo when arriving at the station this afternoon (seems it was better this morning), but all very unstable, signals readible only a few times then vanishing again.

A pity F6EAS was not complete, only saw him two times shortly. Afterwards now all condx are gone, only “locals” to be seen, bad & ugly autumn weather & condx are back. Maybe this is not too bad so I can concentrate on the WWDX-SSB this weekend now. 😉
EDIT: Around 18z Stef, F4EZJ, reported seeing me on FT8 and asked for a short SSB test. Indeed we completed easily, he was not strong but solid! While South-DL is still working DX it seems I’m out of the game nevertheless, EZJ was the only signal audible overhere.

Jep, F6BYJ, called half an hour later on FT8 but we also needed almost half an hour, conditions really not stable. Anyway, another good contact. 😎
EDIT2: F4EZJ popped in & out a few times during the evening again. Later tried with Jerome, F8GGD, on CW and while there was lots of QSB and me having some local QRM from a neighbour’s TV 🙁 into that direction we easily made it: 😎

Nevertheless it’s all quite unstable. Will call it a day now and go back into town …
