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.

At about 1840z, I QSYed to 15m. So far (at 1851z) 11 stations have spotted
me, all "across the pond".
