Last night brought a 20m band opening to the EU. I used it for SSB.
This doesn't change the fact that conditions are still challenging, especially for Western Europe.
Yesterday, I also observed an opening on the 6m band, although it was unidirectional. My signal was received by many Japanese stations, but I received almost none of them. I only managed to log three callsigns. Unfortunately, simultaneous operation on 6m and HF is not possible. The transceivers interfere with each other, and RFI causes the computers to freeze. However, I don't want to waste time dealing with this problem. I'd rather use the time for more QSOs.
This is SP5APW's expedition to Lakeba Island (OC-095). The callsign assigned to the expedition by TAF is 3D2JK.
Lakeba Island is the rarest IOTA reference in Fiji belonging to the top 10% of the world-wide most wanted references. The last activation of OC-095 was carried out over 20 years ago, in 2004 and currently this reference is in demand by 87% of the IOTA chasers.
