Tropo still

Still pretty stable signals from Northern U.K. today. GI4SNA was pounding in all day long, amazing. Early evening EI2GLB popped up but was in & out only on FT8 but I finally caught him and thus crossing the 1.400 km mark.

But the most enjoyable QSO was made with EI4IR in SSB being even further away! 😎 I always check when I see signals popping up in the SSB portion of the band and wouldn’t believe it when Patrick called CQ on .300 with a rather stable and loud enough signal. He was only running 80 watts which made it even more cool. 😎 A pity I was not set up to record audio from the FLEX setup.

My ODX in this tropo session was then even further extended when catching EI8KN (this time FT8 again) later this evening … 1.441 km isn’t too shabby. 🙂
