2 QSO into Brazil and heard in Argentina and Paraguay.

Good path into Bosnia-Herzegovina.

During these tricky conditions on HF I have been enjoying a little 6m activity as we start to see some Sporadic E appearing. Sadly, most activity seems to be on FT8 these days, but I have managed a few SSB QSO also, including some shorter range inter-G stuff for VHF WAB square.

For those who are not aware, these are some useful 6m resources:

The 6m desktop is hosted on the UK Six Metre Group pages (membership of the UKSMG is highly recommended if you get bitten by the 6m bug)!

10th May 2024. Like many others across the whole of the UK I was amazed to see the light show!
Some CQA calls heard on 6m.

Northern lights illuminate the skies across the UK and the world

Skies over the UK and across the world were turned shades of pink and green as the Northern Lights produced incredible displays for skygazers. The impressive Aurora Borealis, usually only visible from northern parts of the British Isles, was visible across large parts of the UK overnight, including Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and, unusually, southern England.

Great to work Paul MM0TZR and Julien MM7JTN on their Scotland adventure to UKBOTA Bunkers (for Bunkers on the Air). Lot’s of bunkers worked including some all time new ones (ATNO) with both the SES call GB0BOA, the Scottish Club Call MS0BOA and their own callsigns. Thank you guys!
