“
Waking up with the birds“, that’s exactly what I and
OR7Z did to activate the new reference
ONFF-473 Snepkensvijver in Herentals (JO21KE).
And a shack with a view! Looking like an old war shelter but it’s a
bird-watch cabin giving a nice view over the ponds. Sunrise was a
fantastic spectacle!
As usual starting on 14.044 CW with a nice pile-up and some nice DX :
VE7CV in western Canada,
K7ABV in Montana en
4Z4DX in Israel. 20m SSB was good as well with several USA stations, again
VE7CV and as a bonus
VK6WC with a booming signal.
Even on 30m CW one USA station :
N1FOJ in New Hampshire.
Again the proof that the bands are OPEN but not many stations are
scanning the bands to look for nice DX … only sitting before the
DX-cluster screen waiting for a spot ?
40m gave a good run with the EU locals, even a good opening via groundwave.
And very sympatic visit from
ON3EVO, Ben. Great to meet this new HAM. Later on also my buddy
ON5SWA popped in to say hallo. No need to say we had a pleasant morning.
