CONDX still declining...


 

I've been QRV in my AM like 21:00Z-24:00Z, but no luck for the past two weeks.



Is the Cycle 25 closing now?

CQWW WPX CW is May 24 - 25 and I hope the CONDX recovers soon.

Look forward to working you on WPX.

73/88,

Hi Hiro-san
?
DX-wise, all of my SOTA-activations have been a bit disappointing. But never mind, I worked plenty of JA. I am almost finished with the Shikoku Henro, so I plan to find a nice place at a beach so I can play a bit more radio and hopefully cdx will be better.?
I won't participate in the WPX as I will be heading home that weekend.?

Hi Hiro-san,

For sure ...we are going "downhill" :)

To my experience, there are still some days with very good conditions on 10 and 12 mtr bands.

GL fer DX!

Hi Hiro Hi Tom,
after doing too much programming lately I decided to turn the computer off and the radio on :-)
As still being CW beginner, I made my self the daily CW (OnAir) challenge (very simple) just do at least one CW QSO each day.
With Family QRM not that easy HI HI??

Had nice rag chew with EU, about 20:00-22:00z.
21:00z-24:00z --> early bird in JA?...?
watched . for JA-Station but too week for me. Also my own sigs fading in/out all time.
As late night-radio operator my best DX was 20m (still open) US stations. Sometimes US very strong and 5 minutes later sigs gone.

Have heard DF7TV (ground wave?) on 40m. On 20m you are audible, but weak maybe I'm in back of the beam if you beam for JA H HI.

JL1EFV/5 Martin-san,

I¡¯m glad to hear that you are gonna complete your SHIKOKU pilgrimage soon.

I¡¯ve been to SHIKOKU several times but never tried such wonderful trip but often ate UDON, thick wheat flour noodles. hi

Any chances to come to AKIHABARA or somewhere around TOKYO?

If yes, let me know and I¡¯ll ask some JA 1 area friends to get together with you.

73,

DF7TV Tom-san,

Right, sometimes CONDX becomes FB on high bands.

This morning at 22:30Z (7:30 JST), I had a chat with a Alaskan station and he also said CONDX has been poor to JA recently. He is usually 599 but this morning his SIG was 539 QSB.

Anyway, I'll look forward the WPX on 10m. If CONDX allows, I'll be QRP.

GL es CU, Tom-san.

DJ1TF, Thomas-san,

I'd say "wonderful eating out" impedance matching is effective for lower the family SWR. hi
