6m opens - a little.

Having lain on its winter stand for a few weeks to take it out of the worst winds (in fact, we had very few of those this winter), the 6m 2-ele quad went back up yesterday.

Quad beam back up, now sporting stainless steel hardware for the booms.

 

I heard a few signals after teatime, but they were fairly weak and intermittent.  Same story this morning, although propagation was about steady enough to allow a few signals from Germany, France and Austria to be received.  

 

Story so far from 53.2 degrees north.

The band is not yet quite ready for this latitude, but that will change in coming days.

Happy Es (peak) season!
