Big 6M opening to North America on 6M


Posted: July 29th, 2016 under 6M, DX, Hamradio.

On June 13th, I noticed on ON4KST that Europe was running North-America on 6M. I turned the yagi and started listening. To my surprise, I could hear several stations. I heard several stations on CW and SSB. I gave a few stations a call on SSB. Among them was VO1KVT in GN29. That was a […]

Timeplotter


Posted: July 5th, 2016 under Hamradio, Software.

This idea came into life after I read about MD0CCE plotting the time for all his contacts with USA on 6M. G0JHC wondered which tool he used. MD0CCE had done it manually. So I thought to myself that a tool like this is quite like my Distance Statplotter. I modified my code, and here is […]
