It was pretty hectic this afternoon. I could hardly keep pace with the spots appearing rapidly on SOTAWwatch.
I think I almost had a 17m QSO with @VE2DDZ but the QSB lost me I fear as I attempted to send my summit reference.
The less said about my QSO with Guru @EA2IF the better. I must remember to bring my thin gloves next time. My fingers might then do what I want.
So I gave up on CW and had a quick S2S QSO on 20m SSB with SV1RVJ in the Peloponnese.
In hindsight I should have stuck with 15m longer. I started with this but RBN Hole didn’t put a spot up so I wrongly assumed the band wasn’t working. I now see it did put a spot up but it was delayed. I suspect the system was a bit overloaded with all the traffic, or I was just impatient. Looking at the RBN map now I can see my 15m CQ call penetrated further into NA than I got on 17m or 20m.
