I was away until the 2nd of the month, so a slow start. Tuesday 3rd was a "JA on 10m" kind of day! Loads worked up until around 0930UTC, when the band started to close to JA. I was struggling on a busy band, so sent QSY 080, and they were calling me before I even...

First of August began well, with 1A0C finally logged on 10m for a new slot. The Sporadic E cloud was hopping all over the place, and their signals ranged from nil to +00 over several minutes, and I wasn't able to hear any of the callers, which made finding a clear QRG...

July has started OK-ish, but the higher bands have been poor - that is until the 5th, when I managed to get 4W6RU on 10m for a new slot - Happy dance! Sadly, so far, nothing on 6m, but I live in hope.... Most activity has been on 20 - 10m FT8, but with some FT4. On...

I have been watching out for T31TT on FT8, as it would be a new one for me, but I just wasn't hearing them. Then, on the 7th June, I actually decoded them on 15m FT4. Called many times, but then the signal went from -07 down to -24, then nothing more. However, I did...

Well, all of those nice DXCC entities worked during March have now been confirmed on LoTW, so very happy with that. April has started well with some nice DX too... 3D2TS 15m FT8 (called me!!), T30UN 15m FT4, and others. Now up to almost 3500 Q's this year, with 157...

March has been very good to me, with several new slots worked.... eg: CY0S on 30/20/17 & 10m, 9X5RU on 30/15 & 10m, plus LU1ZV, JD1BOI & ST2NH on 10m, FK8HM, TZ1CE  & KG6DX on 12m, V26EI on 40m, all FT8. So far this year, I have worked 151 DXCC and all...
