Not been much active lately … QRL, QRL, QRL. So it was good to get out of all the business stuff for a few hours this weekend and free up my mind. 😎 Condx were rather average, didn’t recognize any of the big tropo signals from the UK reported in the western part of Germany. The two G’s worked can be worked anytime from here.
We had some 1,5 hours of Aurora (SK4MPI/B up to 59A!) during the night but I did not do a single AU QSO – really frustrating! This time I could have gained some advantage from being in our fringe area but it wasn’t meant to be. 🙁 Only heard LAØBY with a nice auroral signal but I had already worked Stefan on tropo before. No other Scandinavians on, what a pity … 🙁
What certainly cost me a number of QSOs and points was that I also overslept 2 hours on Sunday morning. Seems instead of hitting the snooze button to grab some additional 5 minutes of sleep I accidently hit the off button … oh well. So was off the air for some 5 hours in total … might have all just been reasoned by the extreme heat, of course … 😉
