Seychelles

Today I had some time to spend in the shack.
I've got a new LAN connection, so the log-PC worked fine.

Going through 40m and there was S79UFT CQ-up. No takers.
After he was logged, I entered a spot on DX-summit.fi . Big pile-up.

Snow and stormy weather here today.

Kenya

Some hours this evening also.
I was trying to get XU om 30m, but the pileup was to big.

Just before I was going to close down, I checked 40m.
5Z4/OH1RX had just started to split, and he got into the log.

Fallback

Even though the old cw-filter was good, the lack of full-break-in, 200w, rx-eq and other stuff "forced" me to bring back the TS-480HX.
I had a nice QSO with AG7N, John on 17m this evening.
The aurora was present, bringing that nice tone to it.

Back to old Rig

I put up my old TS-430S after been using a TS-480HX for the last months.
The 480 is a great radio, and it is easy to use. But it had no IF-filters installed, but my 430 have YK-88C (500Hz).

Worked CY0 Sable Island on 15m with my 22 year old rig today.

Senegal and Turks & Caicos

6W om 15m, VP5 on 17m were logged.
An EI station created a heavy pileup as well.

Alot of special-event stations these days :) OL1911VP

Aurora

This evening there is aurora-boralis activity.
(some aurora-pictures from my other blog)

Work a LA on 10m and a SM on 6m.
LY, OH and DL heard on 6m, but nothing logged.
I guess the 6m ant is still under production :)
