Peter JW7QIA worked 7 contacts on 4M from JQ68tb. The first contact was OH5LID followed by OY3JE and then LA4LN on July 1st. On July 2nd, he worked OH1ND, then a miss with ES1CW. ES3RF, LA5ZK and LA8AV got in the log. A total of 4 firsts with OH, OY, LA and ES. Peter was running a 5 element and a modified FT847.
Here is a youtube video from OY3JE hearing JW7QIA on 4M:
July has been mostly quiet on 6M, but I have had a few openings. I worked C37NL on July 6th. On July 9th, I worked YL2MF in KO35 for a new square. 7X2ARA, EA9IB and CR3L was also worked that day. They were not new, but semi-rare from here. As the 6M ES-season is dying, I've turned a little to HF again. On July 12, I worked KH7XS on 17M CW and SSB. As always, he is loud. FP/K9OT was worked on 30M CW. Nothing new, but he is an LoTW user, and will be a new one there. Fred KH7Y was in with a good signal and pile-up on 20M CW and I logged him after a few calls. On July 14th I worked FO8RZ on 17M RTTY. That was #195 on RTTY. He uses LoTW and was confirmed later that day. HL5BMX was on 20M RTTY with a good signal. I managed to work him for #196 on RTTY. He too is on LoTW, so I hope to get RTTY DXCC on LoTW soon with only 8 to go.
A few people have asked me about the gridsquare maps I have a few places on this site. They are made with DXAtlas.
They are very easy to make, and several logprograms can generate these for you. If you want to make them yourself, just load up DXAtlas and right-click the square you want to mark. You can choose worked or confirmed. You can also make files in a texteditor. Put one square on each line and save the file as "filename".wkd for worked squares and "filename".cfm for confirmed squares. Now you can load these in DXAtlas.
DXAtlas is shareware and you can try it for free for 30 days. To register, it costs 30$. Get it here.
Hei!

On July 4th I had a sked with Gene KB7Q in Alaska. We tried once before, but I lost the moon before we could complete. This time it was at my rising moon and we completed. Thanks for #129 on 6M Gene. Later that night 6M opened to North-America again. I worked 1 VE and 6 W stations before I had to go to bed. Only one new station was worked with K1HC.
On July 5th in the evening, C56E came through on 6M CW with a nice signal and I got him. Several other LA's got him as well. I worked C52T a few years back, so I didn't need it, but it's always nice dx.
On July 6th I worked C37NL on 6M SSB. I also worked a few other contacts but not much interesting.
