  • CQ CQ CQ

    Hell all!

    After getting my BBS back up and running and fsx echomail flowing again, I haven't seen any messages pop back up in here yet. So I figured I would post something.

    Anyone been doing any DX? Haven't dropped down into the HF bands in a while. Saw a post from someone on FB that 10m was open for them them just before the weekend. May need ot tune up the HF antenna and shot CQ into the void a few hundred times soon.

    Anyone else?

    Howdy.

    I only have a 2m/70cm HT. I can barely reach the local repeater on a good day.

    Been having good luck on 15m with increased solar wind and activity
    this month. Not sure about 10m, as it's really dead around here right
    now, not even good for local comms in most cases.

    I usually work CW, but if you pay attention to what the FT8 guys are
    doing it can give you a sort of forecast into where you might have good
    luck chasing DX on other modes either now or in the near future. Think
    of it as a DX forecast, if you will.

    Hi, all. On this side of the world (NL, EU) conditions are picking up slowly. Today some 6m activity (around 1500km range), but not much more yet. When
    does the next cycle really start? I've been waiting for a looooong time....
    ;-)

    The bands have been very up-and-down here recently, so your mileage may
    vary depending on the day. Keep an eye on the solar reports if you plan
    to work any DX at all.
