Title: The View from England
Post by: g3ypz on October 03, 2024, 04:41:16 PM
The band opened up on 24th August across the pond. Solar conditions have made propagation variable. My first AM QSO of the season was on 3rd September with AA3RE.
I've also had regular AM QSOs with VK6VZ on SP on 29.030.

On 2nd Oct I worked JH1SCD - my first AM QSO with Japan on any band in 55 years.

Earlier this evening I worked Rick, VE6CQ with 59 signals.
The rig is a DX100U, 70 wattes to a 4 ele at 25 feet. Elecraft K3 as RX.
Looking forward to many more AM QSOs during the season.

Hello John,
Good conditions today on Ten meters.
Now 20.25 in the evening by us I can hear weak an AM station on 29021 khz.
To weak to copy the call and the station has many fading.

Even so I can hear now weak fm repeaters on 29620 and 29640.

I enjoy these band, because I only hear AM between 29000 - 29080.
Good DX John!


Greetings,

Henk / pe1mph
