Well, still no Sporadic-E on 4 & 2 m overhere. 🙁 Peter was quite active on 6 m but even there only very patchy openings. Luckily there were a few smaller VHF contests this weekend that allowed to work some nice DX contacts nevertheless using good old troposcatter. Managed almost 100 QSOs quite leisurely and besides CW & SSB also did a few FT8 contacts inbetween. This is a mix I do like. 😉
Here’s the listing of the “better ones”, i.e. QRB over 600 km. There were a lot of QSOs > 500 km, too, especially in CW/SSB in the contests, but that would have made the list just too long. 😉

While scanning the band I also stumbled across YO2LEA in KN06 on CW who unfortunately couldn’t hear me. 🙁 Quite a pity, that would have been 930 km and the ODX of the weekend. Maybe next time …
