50 MHz
31 July 2009: Only a few and weak signal via Es heard on 6m throughout the last evenings. I will take down the antenna tower in the next days for some upgrade and controls.
28 July 2009: Open to OH8/9 in the afternoon when I returned home from work. Later strong signals from YO, SV. Finally worked 4X4DK with big signal. Es opening was strong with close stations from SP6/9 were audiable. I had an ear on 2m, but heard nothing.
27 July 2009: J79PAK (FK95) was in here for quite a while, but too weak to break the pile-ups. No other DX heard.
26 July 2009: Strong CN8KD and lots of EAs and EA8s on the band. Worked some of them.
25 July 2009: SA7AGE (JO87) over 508km tropo was a new grid in the early morning. Some weak stations from YO were worked in the morning. In the afternoon I got some EAs and multihop EA8. Stopped when again lightnings flashed through the sky.
22 July 2009: Nothing on 6m this evening. Huge thunderstorm went through. Had some near lightning hits but no damage. I preferred to to make a bike tour instead of sitting at the radio after the storm.
20 July 2009: I was only on shortly keeping an eye to the north paths, as beacons from JW (Swalbard) were audible. Nothing else.

144 MHz
04 July 2009: Sporadic-E !! Worked EA8AVI (IL28fc Gran Canaria) over a 3588km path. What a thrill !!

Hi friend, nice and warm welcome !
Here is my blog which I intend to use preferably for my radio activities. Interesting things come here, which will not go into the radio logbook. Some information may be about astrophotography and about other things ...
Would be nice if you find the way back here.
Christoph
