Moscow night

Still using my temporary sloper receive antenna, I decoded six beacon transmissions last night from RN3AGC, at 1619, 1658, 1743, 1934, 2117 and 0044UTC.

UA4WPF Op32

Yesterday evening on the 136kHz band, I decoded an Opera8 beacon from PA0WMR. Also Opera32 from G8HUH, DF2JP, RN3AGC and five transmissions from UA4WPF (3420km) at 1933, 2008, 2209 and 2247UTC.

Preparations are underway to rebuild my transmitting antenna. I am still waiting for the builders to repair the recent fire damage, so one of my antenna masts is down. However, I have bought a plastic shed which will house the new loading coil and will be at the far end of the garden. I have also ordered coax to feed it with.

On Opera32 mode - G8HUH, UA4WPF (3420km), DF2JP, RN3AGC (2483km).
On WSPR - G8HUH.
