Sporadic E.
Today's ES shows the DX-potential of FT8-mode. However, the use of the right calling periods (eg. like meteorscatter) and maybe add a frequency you will listen and reply to your CQ will increase your succes. |

Nearby stations as a HB9 was constantly calling wrong in 1.period qrming all. So weaker signals could not be read. Please read the rules who's in 1. and in 2. period and we all will have fun. Later I changed calling FT8 in SPLIT that worked. CN8LI was loud here in SSB up to 59 and it was nice to hear a human voice. Guys use in a opening more SSB please ! |

But the ES Tropo mix was too unstable to get a complete QSO. What a pity. Many local QRM here 1st period. |
