Not too bad this weekend. I ended up with 39 POTA contacts on a mix of bands. It was rather fun, and got a few new ones that finally gave me 1000 parks hunted!

This weekend was an interesting one. Yesterday was amazing band conditions and got most of my contacts, but today was kinda meh. There was lots of QRN, and propagation wasn't all that great. But ya know, I'll take 52 POTA contacts for a weekend! And I snuck one LLOTA contact in there too!

Holy cow this weekend was insane on HF. I ended up with 142 SSB POTA contacts, on all bands from 40 meters to 10 meters. It was so much fun! The colors are listed in the image's ALT text. I think I need a vacation after all that!

#10M

Spending this weekend working the new EFHW antenna, I got 96 POTA contacts across 10, 12, 17, 20 and 40 meters! All SSB, no digital! I am beyond happy with how it performs, and it even managed to get my last 2 states needed for hunting all 50 states in POTA!

#Bouvet Island was the main target today while I once more #POTA activated DE-0192 this afternoon. I decided to build up the antenna for 10 to 15 m this time. The bad news is I didn't even hear 3Y0K. But #10m and #12m was a very good decision. 50 QSO of which 49 were #DX!
A real bunch of US stations worked me, and South America was open as well: Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
And South Africa! And Caribbean stations! Oh my!
Thanks hunters!

#10m is wide open, but this year, it's no longer the busiest band for #ARRL International DX Contest, SSB part. In fact, not all of the activity is in contest; there's #3Y0K on 28435 USB, attracting a wide pile-up. If you want a busy contest band, better try 15m. #hamradio #ARRLDXContest

Well, it was such a nice day yesterday that I decided to put up the new EFHW antenna! Took a couple hours to get it in place and get it tuned up. It definitely works much better than I was expecting!

Managed to get the tune so I don't need to use any tuner at all on all bands that it supports! Everything is under 2:1 SWR and some are even nearly 1:1 which I really didn't expect!

The markers are color coded for the bands that I got contacts on. Green ones for 40 meters, orange ones for 30 meters, blue for 20 meters, cyan for 15 meters, and yellow for 10 meters!

I can definitely recommend this antenna ( myantennas.com EFHW ) without question.
