Hey, yesterday end of afternoon, a very strong opening to West Indies & South America on 10M !
Turning the VFO when coming on 10M, I heard a KP4 calling in SSB while beamed on North... Turning my beam to West , I hear EA8OM booming 599+20dB here, a little hello to Heijo (our 6th QSO) and I start calling CQ on 28036MHz. PY4ZO/QRP (5W only) from Brazil answers me first, coming here 569 !
Then, turning to West Indies, it is 8P6BX (20W) who answers me, 579 both ways... it is a new band for Barbados here !
Looking at the cluster, Jules FG4NN is spotted on 28430MHz, need FG on 10M so I QSY... quickly EU pile-up and thanks to F8AOF Jérôme who heard me calling Jules and told him, I could have my 3rd QSO with FG4NN, another new band (still need 30M & 12M for all bands with Guadeloupe)...
A good convivial QSO then with F8AOF, and it's time for me to go QRT, the opening stayed for 30 minutes more then closed...
