2 & 6 Meters

I worked some QSOs also on 8m band this year just to try, we have now temporary lincence for 6 month until Dec. 31st. 2024.

6 Meters season during 2024 has been really prolific, worked at present 7 New One such as YB - 7P -EZ - XU - ZD9 - 9X - FK. Total score on this band is actually 197/W - 188C.

I missed PX0FF (Fernando De Noronha) and RK9UT (Zone 18).

2024 On 2m band brought into the log 2 New DXCC, 7X and PA worked tropo and MS. Now the total DXCC worked on 144MHz is 47.

KH6HI QSL has arrived finally! I really like it so much this DX.

October 15th., my first JA Lp have been worked!

In the late morning around 12 UTC I have worked three stations from JA during a Long Path opening, it happened half an hour before I worked KH6, always LP, (see below).

Staitons worked were JG1TSG; JN1JFC and JR1LZK.

Nice DXs also on 2m band this year!

I worked some stations on MS shower in August, (see pics down).

Tropo openings were more frequent this year and as you can see up I worked a lot of EA5 stations with just an 8L Yagi + 50W ftom and FT-897D.

Worked also OK; SV8; DL; IH9.

Well after the first 6m DX of 2023 (CX, see below), I have worked 3 more DXCC.

As you can see in the pictures below I had the fortune to work also KH6, Long Path on October 16th.!

It has been another "Century DX" after KL7HBK in 2021!

Pictures about KH6HI shows my contact but also where he came in into Europe that day...

I have to thank Albert which already confirmed this beautiful DX on LOTW but I'll soon request qsl direct for DXCC.

In addition I also worked 8Q and FH, two more good DXs.

Now my score is #188_WKD/#180_CFM On 6m.

That's the list of DXCC missng to me on 6m band.

CX was the firs DX of 2023. I missed CX several times but at the end I logged it.

A couple of New Grids worked on 6m and a blast from the past! A good SSB DX with my friend CE8EIO which uploade our qso also on LOTW.

First TEP opening for 2023

These are U.S. States missing on 6m band in order to complete WAS award. I hope for season 2023 to work some of these!

Another good New One on 6m during ES season 2022.

Three more U.S. States (see pictures up) added to the list in order to get my WAS 6m!

MS - NM - VT. I probably missed OR & WY but anyway the end is not too far :-D

Now I miss just 5 States to finish.

Few more DXs down in the pictures such as VE7DAY; BH8MDV; 9N7AA...

Another good DX has been FP, Erick KV1J has been active from St. Pierre & Miquelon and gave us a brand New One om 6m! His call was FP/KV1J.

Gary, VK8AW has been the first New One on 6m of this season, he came in with a mix of ES and F2 propagations and I got him both on FT8 and FT4, unfortunatly not in CW which would have been better!

3A6M - F6EXV Paul and PB8DX Florian have been really active for a long period from Principauté de Monaco giving many people a New One on 6m. I needed 3A to grow up the score on DIGI modes and I got them. Well done guys!

Yuri UT1FG/MM has been really active from a lot of grids around the seas.

I got him just two times.

Welcome back guys! These are some of TEP and ES openings occurred during 2022 season.

This year I have missed several DXCC such as 10 at least!! :-/ but something I got too...

New Ones DXCC And New U.S. States Worked During 2021 ES Season

DXCC: HK - YI - VR2 - 9N - 4S - EP - 8P - J3 - J6 - PJ4 - P4 - AP - T6 - KL7 - VP2V - HB0

U.S. STATES: KY - IN - IA - CO - NV - AK - OK - KS - NE - UT - MN - MI - ND

Here we are to the Best DX ever on 6m band, both for 2021 ES season and for life!

I had the fortune to work KL7HBK on the band, I was comingh through Alaska via North Pole and signal was really good, I got a -02!

John was not so strong but I got the report perfectly and the qso happened really fast. It might have been possible on CW too perhaps.

Considering the path we don't know if 2022 will give us a new opportunity to work KL7 again. Meanwhile...it's into the log!

Two More Rare States Added...
