DX day 3rd May

Again I headed for the hills with my trusted Ranger 2950DX and the Sirio 4000 antenna. I was up and running for 1100 and conditions on the 11 meter band seemed more favorable than the Easter DX day. Could hear many stations from Europe. Germany was coming in very strong on the EU FM band and although I made a few calls on 27.315 I did not recieve a response. France and the Netherlands were coming through on triple five most of the day but prop was up and down.

I did manage 3 QSO's which I was happy with considering I was only using 25 Watts output.

Some other Callsigns noted were:

108 TM 007
108 TP 06
108 AW 062
108 DX 018
1 SA 003
1 SA 28

13 OD 002
13 EL

Over the last week or so propagation has improved greatly here in Scotland, things are certainly looking up for the summer season.

73s and good DX
