• [OCTOBER 12 @ 1330z] –

We just passed 80000 QSOs (after 7 days resp. 167 hours of operating). The noise situation on 160m didn’t get better last night. We will relocate the EU/Asia Beverage today. Mixed feelings about 50 MHz yesterday. The 50313 spectrum was completely overloaded with stations, however it was difficult to complete contact because everybody kept on calling with their grid – and not moving forward with a report. That blocked us minute after minute and was very disappointing to watch. Trying to QSY to 50316 was only understood by very few stations and more time was lost. When such a big opening happens again, please watch DX Cluster closely to understand what we need.
