Two trips out today… An early morning trip out with the bicycle mobile on
both 40m and 20m from 05:30 09:00 UTC and a further trip out in the
evening on 20m from 19:00 21:00 UTC.




The early morning propagation on 40m was not the best but managed Costa
Rica and New Zealand… On 20m propagation was much better with openings to
Australia and the Cook Islands, a feature of the propagation this morning
was strong sporadic E which enabled very short skip both inter G and into
near Europe with exceptionally strong signals, so many stations worked
after completing the DX session.












The evening session on 20m was much better with very good propagation into
South America, USA including West Coast, Canada including West Coast and St
Helena island, one particularly notable contact was with a station in
Brazil who was mobile and he was peaking over S9.




Thw weather was perfect for both trips and the sunset stunning in the
evening…
