Richard<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span> The condx were terrible and I really, really hoped for a 6m qso, but nothing happened. I did hear F4JRC, about 2000 km away, on the magic band <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC28S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC28S</span></a>.</p><p>Contacting other xOTA stations wasn&#39;t as easy as the usual P2P or P2S, but I did get ~15 in the log, not counting multiple parks and multiple ops setups. <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC16S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC16S</span></a></p><p>I even had some CW qsos with other hams with whom I share this instance <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC38S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC38S</span></a>, but I couldn&#39;t find someone for <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC30" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC30</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/hamchallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hamchallenge</span></a></p>

I even heard F4JRC on 6m <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC28S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC28S</span></a>. I fixed my audio card <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC45S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC45S</span></a> and used the antenna I built with the YL <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HC33S" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HC33S</span></a>.</p><p>Details follow.</p>

The bands are still inexplicably terrible for supposedly good conditions. I was spinning and grinning for an hour when that station suddenly burst in loud and clear.</p><p>Now chasing MN. Which fades in and out, barely audible.</p><p>I'm hearing zilch on SSB. This is why I like morse. It works when voice doesn't.</p>
