Called CQ on 160, zero replies although a few East Coast USA skimmers picked me up.
Skipped 80 and 40.
Called a bunch of / award stations on the other bands.
Called CQ on 30m and got called by K5NU, gave him 559. Found P4/DL4MM and gave him 559 too.
Lotsa calling has been done.
Not really a spectacular sunrise moment here for a operator on the .
No wonder everyone puts all the CW chips on 'cw contest weekend'.

might be a funny gimmick but nothing beats a few real CW QSO on the .
300+ in the Hungarian HADX contest. Very casual.

The notorious picks me up in VK and ZL with nice S/N dB readings but not much coming in from that part of the planet.

Bagged a few new / award stations as well.

It never gets boring, that much is sure!

on 12m SSB - yes I do own a mic...
I hear them on 10m FM - yes FM but there are limits.
In the mean time: where are those award stations?

EU commuters are home from work and need to vent their frustration on 40CW while your's truly tries to work on 7025kHz.
I think I got 'm but the op logged oK5m and +not+ oQ5m. Couldn't really copy through the mess.
If it weren't for live stream, I wouldn't have known.
This is why I lost interest in -> too many lids in action.
Took me half an hour for a 2nd qso. Meanwhile I worked some award stations.

yeah baby!
