DX is back - VA3KOT John - 2024-09-30
The last few weeks have been full of difficult propagation conditions due to solar flares, CMEs etc. So I was very pleased to get a contact in Sweden this afternoon. I was activating Ainslee Wood Conservation Area near Leith for POTA with one of my QRP rigs. I was only putting out about 3-4 watts into a quarter wave vertical antenna on the beach. Maybe DX contacts will be more common as we get closer to solar max predicted for next spring.
