Again a day with a surprising opening - the most time the MUF was
lower 70 Mhz as suddenly G worked into IH9 and 9H. Later they could
work the long distance to SV9 - here only 2 stn hrd today... 73 Guy
(now 1645 UT qrt due to extrem heavy t-storms again...)
As i was in local FM qso I2UOU surgged in but no qso.
So far i missed IK7HIN JN71 for new square and pity hrd
SV9CVY KM25 for a new dxcc.(i couldn't break the mess) Now we know we can do it one days.
I wasn't able to cpy any SV as my neighbour did (my badest take-off)
Nice opening, need 15 minutes to heard the first station on SSB! (much Italian relay and I2UOU or something like that on FM). Also heard beacon on 434 and 466.5 but too long tune to wait. Hrd two more SV (SV1GYJ and SV8CAK?). Hrd also SV9CVY but very weak and I think 5 minutes too late. New odx at 2555km now but hope more ! Tnx all for QSO and cu.

Worked SV9GPV KM25EH on 70.200MHz and then swapped over to 144MHz to work SV9CVY in the same locator square! After the QSO with SV3CYM I jumped back to 70MHz and immediately worked SV9CJO KM25FI. Definitely a Greek affair today. SV is a rare event from here as the distances are not optimum.
Heard a couple of german and UK stations (missed them due to having vert connected), got a couple, but SV9/SV3 had all the fun ! New Loc's, good distances. 73 !
