#6m #SporadicE at the moment in Olsztyn 🇵🇱: some naZis, intriguingly, all four-sign calls, despite multiple clouds elsewhere... #OpenWebRX

Well, this map of locators heard indicates that, actually, only some of these stations are DX, the rest are in Konigsberg exclave, all close to the RX, all groundwave.

So why isn't Olsztyn getting the same DL/OK/etc. DX as the zombies a few dozen km up? 😳 #6m #SporadicE #OpenWebRX

Moving on, GB0SNB #OpenWebRX seems to have good reception on #6m, but its #FT8 decoder fails to decode anything 😩 #sporadicE

Keep an eye out for Aurora Propagation (AU) happening right now.

Here is a sound sample I just copied from NA2O calling CQ on 6m (50.102). Note the raspy CW sound.

My antenna was pointed at 330 degrees. NA2O is due south from me and I would normally not copy him.

I experimented setting up for last night for the first time. No contacts made, but I did figure out that my BCA-300 Dual-Band Mag Mount Antenna tunes nicely using the Yaesu 857D and the YT-100 tuner. So maybe sometime in the not too distant future I’ll actually make a QSO. I was tuned to 52.540 as it’s one of the designated frequencies for HamActive’s event.
