This weekend the IARU Region 1, 50 and 70 MHz contest took place. For the first hour I was trying to work some local hams in FT8 VHF-contest mod since this is an allowed mode in the contest. and worked some UK stations via Tropo. Then for about 1,5 hour I worked some stations in South-East Europe since there were Sporadic E openings.
I wasn’t active on 70 MHz. Or actually active at all due to the lack of time. Hope to work some more stations during Part 2 of the contest and be active on 70 MHz too. This takes place the weekend of 6-7 juli. But during that weekend there is also an VHF/UHF/SHF contest.
