Finally with a stable high pressure system across the North Sea and nice autumn weather (one month later we would call it a Golden October, hi) we got a little tropo, too. Not well suited here in JO73, it’s much better 100 km north in JO64 and even better in JO43/53 with quite some SSB contacts made there, too (where I can only hear the German guys but not the DX). So FT8 needs to do the job and it indeed delivers. Completed the following QSOs today:
