Winter Season on 6 meters is ending...

Well, we are getting closer to March and it seems some TEP / F2 is starting. I have seen spots from south EU to ZS stations and from usual beacons like ZD8VHF or ZD7VC. Some EA8 and CT have started to work PY, too.

If you need 6W look for 6W/HA0NAR who is qrv and has been worked today from 9A, S5.

Unfortunately 5X and 9U expeditions don't have 6 meters. A pity as I believe they could have worked many EU stations.

I don't expect any good conditions this spring, at best like last year. This cycle is so bad.... but we will try hard, keep calling and making noise!

Good luck on 6 !
