It seems too many of us are having fun on FT8, even when conditions are good enough !
So, I continue my IOTA quest when new ones appear, and thanks to XR1RRC from IOTA SA-069, IT9/DJ4EL from IOTA EU-166, I could add 2 new islands in the log...
- AM70URE/6 Balearic Islands was worked on 12M CW (new band !! #290th worked DXCC on 12M) and on 6M SSB (new slot)
- 7X2TT Algeria was worked as a new one 6M FT8 (remember ? FT8...) and my 106th worked DXCC on the Magic Band !
And that's all for the new band/slots in the log... I made several other contacts in CW & SSB on 6M, but no more big session of E-Sporadic as past years, everybody's playing on FT8... CQing CW/SSB on empty band is not fun when you KNOW conditions are good :/
That's the reason I recently jumped into Satellites (FM) with a pedestrian equipment (HT & ARROW antenna) !
I found a new place of interest, working birds is really exciting, the SAT community is very rich, no SSN required, and real OM contacts... More soon.
