I saw the e-mail alarm, then try decode 1st on FT8, where is much EAs: 17:53z (EA5IK-05, EB5EEO-8, EA6ALL+01, EA6ET-13, EA5GJ-19). Then immediately switching to SSB, and work EA6AAU 59++ on 1.st call. I cannot receive another station on .300 because of the strong EA6 signal, and other freq were empty. I call CQ next 2min on SSB _NIL, and then back to FT8. Here work with EA7HLB +01 only, Prop down, and time to time decode 1x CT1EOD-07, EA5BY-15, and on the end EA5EEO+15 go strong 3 decode a 18:23 but no answer :( . After that ES 2m closed. |
