It's almost a week ago since I put my last post on this blog. This means that there was't to much time for the radio hobby.
Last week there was a chance of Aurora Borealis by an eruption on the sun. Unfortunately, the Aurora was to weak for me in JO21RV to hear signals on 6 meters via this propagation.
The antenna for 6 meters has not stood on the balcony for a few weeks. This antenna is a 5/8 wave for 2 meters. With a piece of extended it's now a fourth wave for 6 meters. The extension has now made a final.
This year I made a lot of qso's via Es with this antenna.
Thanks to Eric, PE1FES, for the mechanical work.

Over the solar peak?

In my opinion we have just passed the solar peak. We can expect a few years
of good conditions, but I expect the trajectory to be slowly downwards.

Hoi Tjeerd, dat ziet er netjes uit. Hopelijk heb ik volgend jaar ook een goede 6 meter antenne. 73 Paul
ReplyDeleteHallo Tjeerd, helaas hier ook geen aurora. Wel sporadic-e met EA6. Werk met een W2000. 73, Bas
ReplyDeleteIk mis de laatste weken ook de Es op 6M. Het is er nog wel, afgaande op de meldingen in het cluster.
ReplyDeleteWaarschijnlijk loop ik het steeds mis.
Prettig weekend.
