Many thanks to Roy in Corsica for for his help on the radio, always a strong 5/9+ 20 and 40 on the 5 ele Best DX contact was Uruguay followed by Puerto Rico on Friday evening, it was a brief opening through Spain and Portugal. Friday morning was fair into EU and dropped away around 1.30pm, it slowly picked up around 7pm. Best ground wave contact was Farmer Richard. Saturday was better for EU contacts, it was steady during the day, evening Openings never happened, there were a few strong stations form 01 and 161 But very isolated. Many thanks to all who took the chair and worked hard for the contacts to round of a brilliant weekend. Andy 591/p Edited by Kaosss, Monday, 25. July 2016, 16:07.
