15mtrs again wakes up...

[KB1VWC]

Worked John G3YPZ at 13:30Z on 21420. He apparently could hear me well. He was very spotty; tons of QSB.  He's only using an Icom IC7300 barefoot. Compromised antenna here right now. Hex beam went down several years ago and I was on the 75 meter dipole.  I guess I better get the beam back up!

Hello,
Yesterday I heard Italian stations in AM between 21420 - 21435.
Time around 16.00 hours by me, wintertime = around 15.00 hour GMT time.
I tried to make a 'talk' but no answer....

Today, Sunday, I have many qrm on 15 mtrs.
Not nice/good for my ears to listen...

I go now to our livingroom, maybe tomorrow I hear AM on 15.

Hi all..another brilliant day on 15mtrs..flipped the rig on and there's John G3YPZ calling CQ at S9..we chatted for quite awhile..then worked Martin PE1BIW who last worked me in 2013 on the 10mtr band AM..ah the gud ol' days!..he was a solid 20 over as was Glenn G8NOF hanging out on 21.410 yakking with Tom W0TDH....the basic window or time frame appears to be between 1300 to 1500 UTC for across the pond..odd thing is after the Europa crowd fades not much if anything here in the USA..
            Sorry Henk but I can't turn up the "wick" as ain't one here..Kevin Doug was talking to Marcos CT1EHI who chatted with me after..20 over for his signal.....they're out there!!!  73 de DAVE WB1EAD

Great!

But yesterday and today it looks like 15 mtrs is dead.
And I had not such high locale qrm, like Sunday!
Perhaps I can hear again AM on 15 mtrs.

Hi All..well I guess to answer Henks wondering and the fact I didn't say much for ystdy (BTW it was big time..QSOs left and right!)..there was little activity today although I did have a 20 min QSO with John G3YPZ at 21.420..I'm thinking that the wild rain & wind event here in New England put a damper on things..John did remark he worked a 9Z4 and Tom W0TDH earlier today..so it ain't dead Henk!..tomorrow once more!   73 de DAVE WB1EAD

Hi, hi.... Dave!
Ofcourse I remember the good days in AM on 15 and Ten.
This afternoon I listen, just a weak station in AM on 21.420.
Sounding, not Italian....

Good DX,

Henk
