I catch a cold and couldn't sleep, afraid I kept the YL awake and she have to rise early for work, so I was all night up. Coughing and sneezing and best mode to work with is PSK31 in such a case. 40 meter was busy all night/morning. I worked with low power: 40 watts and worked a new DXCC Venezuela YV5KQA, Jose Manuel from Miranda. 7863 km. Also worked AC2AD Ron from Penn Yan, NY USA; RA3XI Victor from Kaluga, Russia; RV3SEU Sergey from Ryazan, Russia; UY8VO Valeryan from Znamenka, Ukraine; K2WOP Curtis from Syracuse, NY USA. RZ6BS Sergey from Shabel'sk, Russia. On 80 meter was very quiet, only a few Russian Stations.

's Nachts zijn leuke tijden voor 40m. Zou het niet met 5W gelukt zijn naar Venezuela? Leuke afstanden. Beterschap nog ! 73, Bas
ReplyDeleteI'm always interested to see what I can work during the night hours, but never interested enough to forsake a warm bed for the shack. Your cold had a good outcome, I think!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
ReplyDeleteI've heard some better excuses to be able to make that rare DX.....hi..
Beterschap, ik ben net herstellende van een griep.
ReplyDeleteDaar door is de PACC aan mij voorbij gegaan.

Hallo Bas: ik denk het niet, ik had al een tijdje CQ gegeven met 5 watt zonder resultaat. En 's nachts, ach, dan liggen de buren op één oor. 73 Paul
ReplyDeleteHello Julian, normally I prefer my bed too at that time... It was a nice change to explore the band at night. 73 Paul
Hallo Wally: dan heb je mij nog niet horen hoesten. hi, 73 Paul
Hallo Tjeerd: ja, jammer dat je daardoor de PACC hebt gemist. Zo'n virus is toch knap lastig. 73 Paul
