A nice opening for the boys from UA6 and UT5 cause it was very
early in the morning and there was a first/first today. At
0500 UT BC was crowded with Arab stations at RZ6BU. At 05:50
lots of unlis from different Arabic countries on 144 MHz with
RZ6BU and finally at 07:12 RZ6BU made SU on 144 in FM!
Congrats. Same time UT5 was working 4X4 and there
were lots of unlis and Arabic music stations on 144 heard in LZ. The opening lasted for more than 2 hours but only a small
amount of QSO's due to the very low activity in these
countries.
Later in the afternoon MUF was suddenly rising very fast up to
144 from DL to SV at 17.00 UT. First signals on 144 at 17:22
when SV3CYR was into DL. Bit later SV1OE reached the band
while LZ was into F. Cloud was moving north for G to YO and SV
and PA0 to SV and LZ and YO. Short and spotty one that lasted
until 18:14 UT. Later SK6HD [OP: SM6FKF] made RA1ZC via
AuroraE, a rare mode and often
not detected due to low activity.
Involved DXCC: UT5, UA6, 4X4, OD5, SU, SV, LZ, YO, F, DL, ON,
PA0, LX, G, GW
