No chance of #EME DX you say ? Wrong πŸ™‚4W8X worked today for new #2m DXCC. Full credit goes to Seb DG5CST, 4W8X operator, for very efficient utilization of the Ground Gain phenomenon on Moonset. Just 2x11el Yagi at his end produced quite good sigs given the circumstances. Kudos!

Yes - it aint't no joker, HC2FG called in out of the blue and perfect QSO, fair and square, while beaming an opposite direction. QRB almost 11000km & new DXCC on #50MHz Biggest surprise to date on #Six Conclusion - sometimes it pays back to give out a few CQs on the magic bandπŸ˜€

Happy EME array is still putting up a pretty good show - it took mere 10 minutes to work Cameroon off the Moon

Second day in a row to Oceania & some Far East Asia. Lucky to catch two new DXCCs on #50MHz in less than 20 minutes - YB & 9M6. By the time of posting this both are confirmed on #LoTW. Also DU, VK4, VK6 and some Japan today (path skewed 50 degrees to the South). Happy #SIX days!!

While QRBs were moderate from KO03 - ODX G4LOH at 1812km, width and duration of openings definitely made it up for distances. Highlight - rock solid tropo ducts to PA - practically 24/7 for two consecutive days.

It has been a great #2m fun on tropo with significant activity - thanks for all thr QSOs and (as always) looking for more good propagation to come anytime soon !! πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚
