K9ZW 15SEP20 six bands FT8 Log
Some morning the propagation is really different. On Sept 15th 2020 working FT8 on the second monitor from my work desk, I was able to catch QSOs on 160m, 80m 40m 30m, 20, and 17m. Usually I can find good contacts on a few bands, but not so often on six bands in a session.
It was nice to add to my 160m FT8 QSOs, as I have not spent much time on FT8 160m yet.
I found nothing to work on 15m, 12m and 10m – again that propagation issue!
Gear was my ZeroFive Flagpole Vertical Antenna, a Flex-6700 barefoot, and my trusty Dell Core i7 computer running SmartSDR for Windows and WSJT-X. Connectivity was via SmartLink as my radio is at home.
A sprinkling of DX in the run, Fiji being the most interesting.
