Some new sunspots
Submitted by Elmar on Thu, 04/29/2010 - 22:18After a period of almost two weeks without any sunspot the sun has shown 12 new sunspots today.
Let's hope the conditions will move to a higher level in the next couple of days. There were a few openings on 10 and 20 meter the last couple of days and I made a few nice QSO's.
Three days ago I worked Vinod VU2VID on 20 and just about half an hou ago I had a nice chat with Mohammed A41NN, also on 20 meter.
Both these QSO's are new countries in my log, so I'm looking forward to the QSL cards.
Earlier today I worked on my 10 meter Moxon antenna. Late this afternoon I put up the antenna in my garden. The SWR is at its best about 1 MHz too low, so a little fine tuning need to be done.
I hope the weather is good enough to do that during this weekend as we had thunderstorm earlier this evening and more rain is forecasted for the next couple of days.....
