On May 31st, I worked TM1INT on 6M CW and 30M CW from EU-159. I had a 6M opening where I worked several stations from Ukraine and a new grid with KN67.

We have had a few 6M openings, but most of it has been to Europe. I haven't bothered working anything of it. On May 16th, I did copy A25GF for a few minutes. He faded before I could work him. On May 23rd I heard JY9FC weakly a few minutes. On May 25th, we had another 6M opening with several EA8 stations heard and some europeans. On May 31st, we had another opening, but not much of interest. I heard stations from SV5, GM, F, I, S5, G, SP, ES, HA, LZ, ER, EI, YO, SV1, OH, SV9, LY, OK and YL.

Wow, time flies way too fast these days. I'm not working much radio for the time being. Usually I'm chasing new islands or perhaps a new bandcountry here and there. Conditions has been up and down, and the 6M season has started again when I write this. Well, here is my report from April.

Soundclips:

• 4S7DFG 80M CW – Did not manage to work them.
• TX6G 15M CW

. This was also a card I found in the scanner when I found the IJ7T card. This was a new iota for me and was requested via oqrs on Clublog

I got this qsl some time back in 2013, but found the card in the scanner while scanning PJ8/DL5LYM. I checked and couldn't find that I had posted it. Anyway, this was a new iota for me, and I requested the card via oqrs on Clublog.
