Today the Es season on 6 meters began for me.
The first signals where very weak, I could hardly take the stations. Around 14:30 UTC the signals were stronger and could I work via morse code with HA8CE in KN06EN. Almost half hours later I worked with YO6XK (SSB) in KN25BS, a new square.
For this season I will use my Yaesu FT817nd, 5 watts and a modified 5/8 for 2M to a 1/4 GP for 6M.

I managed to work the *7P8EI* in Lesotho today on 28 MHz CW, my first DX

I have no idea if it's a new country or not on 28 MH...
