Over the last week the moon conditions have improved, with higher declination, and moving away from the sun over the last 3 days.
Its setting in the evening which is convenient for us listening for the dx from Europe, particularly good for stations here without elevation control on their yagis.
There has been plenty of activity on 23cm and especially on the 6cm band with the Dubus activity weekend.
Contacts into JA and Europe have been good with Norway and Italy being highlights. The smaller stations just getting started is who I prefer to talk to.
HB9Q logger is the go-to place to see whats happening.
I have been doing some experiments with LNAs whilst working them. No CW , its all been JT65C.
