I’ve only ever had 1 DX S2S and I’m anxious for more!
S2S is fun, transatlantic S2S even more so! Either I have gotten much, much better in the two years I’ve had my license or the sun has been smiling upon me!
On 7th of November, I managed to talk to Eric, VA2EO on VE2/QC-005 and on the 8th to Bernie, N1NDN on W2/GA-165.
The problem is that now in Central Europe, it gets dark quite early (sunset at about 15:45 UTC). So when you get up and ready, my bum is cold and the batteries are gone (see SOTA Song).
Additionally, the weather tends to be somewhat unfriendly. My last activation on HB/BE-101 was almost completely in fog →
and I had to give up about 1/2 hour before NA stations became active.
Maybe, I’ll head to HB/BE-123 in the late afternoon, subject to wx. I could be there from ~14 UTC to max ~17 UTC. Caution: I’m not yet fluent in CW, so I work only SSB.
