More Dxing

Another DX event has been arranged, this time by forum members on the Transmission 1 website. The more people taking part in these DX days the better as far as I can see. Some people (like me) head for the hills and hope to make as many contacts as possible however if you are unable to go mobile stick the radio on anyway, you never know who you may hear calling.

The last DX event which took place over Easter was very hard going, no skip around at all. Today (April 21st) I have had the radio on most of the day and again no skip. Things can surely only improve on the 11 meter band, lets face it, they cant get much worse.

Here's hoping for a good day on the 3rd of May, hope to hear you on the band.

April 2009 Update

On the 12th of April I decided to head for the hill's for some DXing however the band remained closed and the only QSO made was with Alan (108 FB 027) located in West Lothian, cheers Alan. UK Channel 19 was active for most of the day however even the low voices on there died away at around 1700. One or two other Scottish operators were noted on 27.555 but were barely audible, conditions really were poor.

My DX location for the day was Lochan Na Lairige, a small Loch to the North of Loch Tay.

Until next time....
