Fantastic 4 m opening tonight!

Was a bit late out of QRL again today (19 o’clock) but the first thing to do when arriving home during the summer is to switch on the rig and check for ES conditions. 😉 Seems the 4 m band had been open already for 2 hours to EA8 then as I was told by the locals. Party got in full swing later on with a few EA8’s via double-hop ES as well as CT3 and CU for new countries … great! 😎 Also good activity from EA mainland so worked a lot of new stations and a few new gridsquares, too:
