Already back home

My nice vacation is over. QRT 16 May, around 2130z. Almost 800 QSOs done. 23% with EU.
50 kg of load (including 1.2 kW PA) back home without damages.
SP7SP amplifier worked great. Without that I wouldn't be able to work others than JAs.
Unfortunately my vacation coincided in time with Cezar E51LYC activation. So, I worked him from DU but wasn't able to add OC-098 to my SP5APW IOTA list...
Thank you all for nice QSOs and sorry that I couldn't be on air more. I did the best I could.
73 and see you on air in future from other IOTAs!





All QSOs uploaded to Clublog and LoTW. Clublog OQRS switched on. Waiting for QSL card design.

Last 24h on Siargao. QRT tomorrow.

I am going QRT tomorrow. At the moment there is 650 QSO's logged. 20% with EU. Prop is still bad.

Only 500 QSOs

The propagation is bad. Only 500 QSOs is done. I wonder if bringing of 50 kg gears is worth that. The only slight and short opening to EU and NA was yesterday. I am mainly calling CQ, self-spotting and, in the meantime, working JA.

"No propagation" reason, hihi

Hexbeam up - bands down...

The issue of lack of space for Hexbeam has been solved due to the kindness of neighbor. Mr Vik, owner of the property next to my villa was kind to allow to put the Hexbeam on his land.
Antenna is up but bands are totally closed. I made only few QSOs with JAs on 15m.
Have to believe that next days will be better.
