  1. This weekend was an interesting one. Yesterday was amazing band conditions and got most of my contacts, but today was kinda meh. There was lots of QRN, and propagation wasn't all that great. But ya know, I'll take 52 POTA contacts for a weekend! And I snuck one LLOTA contact in there too!

  2. Holy cow this weekend was insane on HF. I ended up with 142 SSB POTA contacts, on all bands from 40 meters to 10 meters. It was so much fun! The colors are listed in the image's ALT text. I think I need a vacation after all that!

  3. Spending this weekend working the new EFHW antenna, I got 96 POTA contacts across 10, 12, 17, 20 and 40 meters! All SSB, no digital! I am beyond happy with how it performs, and it even managed to get my last 2 states needed for hunting all 50 states in POTA!

  4. #Bouvet Island was the main target today while I once more #POTA activated DE-0192 this afternoon. I decided to build up the antenna for 10 to 15 m this time. The bad news is I didn't even hear 3Y0K. But #10m and #12m was a very good decision. 50 QSO of which 49 were #DX!
    A real bunch of US stations worked me, and South America was open as well: Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
    And South Africa! And Caribbean stations! Oh my!
    Thanks hunters!

  5. Yesterday I made a #POTA quickie on #12m and #15m. 4 continents reached with 26 QSO. I stopped when it began to snow.

  6. My 40/20/15 inverted vee antenna was not in the mood today - high swr. Therefore I changed to another antenna and could work half of all US hams on #15m and #12m for #POTA. Plus #Iran as ATNO. Thanks hunters!
    The Jewish Cemetery near to 'my hill' got a new signpost btw.

  7. Today was really pretty good on 10 and 12 meters! Got 22 POTA contacts, all SSB, except one which was FM! That was really neat! It was such a clear communication, I was really amazed! And I got one contact up in Alaska all the way from Pennsylvania!

  8. New Year SSB pile! I managed to get 27 SSB POTA contacts today! 10 meters and 12 meters was wide open! So many wonderful operators out today, thank you to them all!

  9. I finally updated my Awards page on my blog from #ARRL #LoTW and it looks like I'm three (3) states away from #WAS on #12m (digital)!

    (I had not updated this page in a *year*, lol)

  10. This weekend was really good for #10m #SSB finally! The band is definitely waking up, and I'm so wanting to take advantage of it! Looking forward to more weekends like this one to get even more #POTA and such! Even managed to get one #SOTA contact too!

    On a side note, I found out my radio manages to tune my 10m antenna to #12m at a usable level. Obviously it's not the most efficient like that, but hey, it does work! Managed to get one contact!

  11. Today it rained my piggyback during my #POTA activation, but nevertheless it was fun: many #DX, Japan, South Korea, Canada, US, Panama, Venezuela, Madagascar on #10m #12m #15m. 59 QSO - thanks hunters!

  12. 12m CW today 22 qso, about 2 hrs. None were 5NN 73 TU. Each were proper qso - name exchange, power, antenna, qth etc.
    Got couple of QRP stations as well. Very good propagation today. Now, my brain has melted.

  13. I thought #12m wasn't working on my Icom 746, so I hooked up my FT-857D to the same antenna (an EFHW8010) that I can surprisingly tune to #12m to take a look...

    looks like 12m is still dead here, lol

    #HamRadio

  14. @dcpatton I sometimes forget that those bands aren't part of the contests, lol

    I'm slowly trying to finish up #WAS on #12m so I usually check at least that band, lol

  15. @dcpatton yeah, I tried #30m and #12m they were dead, I can't access #60m sadly with my IC-746, BUT, I did have some luck on #17m 🙂

    all the fun are on the other bands, lol

  16. 🔴 MANIFESTACIÓN por PALESTINA🔴

    📢 Marchamos juntas para llenar las calles de Madrid el #12M

  17. @dcpatton yeah, #12m / #FT8 is popping right now too!

    lots of great openings right now 🙂

  18. and they confirmed on #LoTW 😍

    Now I have #WAS on #80m #40m #30m #20m #17m #15m and #10m 👀

    I just need to finish off #12m WAS for the U.S., and if I get the right antenna setup soon, I'll try for #6m too

  19. @particlesbbs nice!

    yeah, #10m and #12m seem to have been working nicely for me today too 🙂

  20. Just worked A41ED in Oman 🇴🇲 (Gridsquare: LL93 / distance: 11933.5 km) on 12m using FT8 #hamr #cloudlog #Oman #12m #FT8

  21. Back from the hill. It was hard to work stations on #12m and #15m, #ft8 if at all.
    #17m and #15m was a bit easier, but also #ftx only.

  22. L'independentisme ha perdut suna majoria absoluta. Estic decebut, però no sorprès; això és cosa que ja m'ho esperava.

    Aviam com comença aquesta legislatura (si comença, o ens desemboca a una repetició electoral).
    Jo auguro que amb un govern no-indepe (és a dir, amb el PSOE pel mig), moltes coses de Catalunya empitjoraran significativament, però crec que això també servirà per reformular l'independentisme i que ressuscitin amb més força pels pròxims comicis.

  24. Si els indepes no votem el #12m , governarà #Illa , #pedrosanchez dirà que gràcies a les seves polítiques s'haurà passat pàgina, no tindrà cap incentiu per aplicar l'#amnistia en tornar al congrés, dissoldrà les corts per convocar eleccions, si pot, fer-ho coincidint amb les europees del #J6 .Els polítics ja trobaran el seu camí per a deslliurar-se dels efectes de la repressió, els que pringaràn, com sempre, és la gent comuna. Voteu a #alhora ni que sigui, ja sé que no són massa excitants, però.
