“Four” opened up again this afternoon and evening. Seemed very patchy most of the time although Malta, 9H, proved to be the ES hotspot again, the guys were in & out for several hours! Just wished activity would be a bit higher to take advantage of the great propagation on the 4 m band. 😉 Worked these fine QSOs:

Sorrily SV7GBR in KN20 QSY’d a few minutes too late into the “DL-band”, i.e. between 70.150 and 70.180 MHz. He was just down into the noise then while a solid 57 before when working OZ’s on 70.200 MHz. A pity as he would have been a new square …
2 m saw a good ES opening, too, but as usually the case from up here in JO73 we only “get into the water”, i.e. with the existing ES cloud our signals landed in the JM94/KM04 area, deepest Mediterrenean Sea. 🙁 😉
