What a great DX day today! Made 70 QSOs across Four & Two. Both bands started to open simultanously overhere at 8 UTC. While it started to the west with G/GW for the first 20 minutes it soon shifted to EA/F and stayed open for 2 hours with some short breaks every now and then. Nice to see some SSB activity, too. 😎
Propoagation shifted to the south in the afternoon but only provided one 2 m QSO while 4 m was open on the shorter distances to 9A and S5 enabling QSOs with the usual suspects. In the evening the cloud cluster to Spain became active again enabling 2 m contacts once again and some more on 4 m, too. Here are the catches on 2m:
