The 6m Es condx have continued to prevail, but with the Es link extensions to North America favouring more southern latitudes the best DX achieved here has been Norm E51E on Aitutaki Island (Grid BH01) for a new grid.

Unfortunately the 'quiet' local condx that also coincided with the potential for Es extensions across the Pacific over the past week have also ceased, so now it's back to the heavily RX focused operations.

With Field Day just over a week away, I took KJ VK4UH to check out a couple of sites.

The first is high above  Kobble Creek (where I activated in the Spring VHF/UHF Field Day 2012), the second at Mt Mee. Both have huge potential for FD operations, but the Mt Mee site allows for easy access for the trailer mounted tower used by KJ in the VK4IZ activations.
