Missed moon rise this morning (need to set alarm for tomorrow) but have enjoyed watching Lance W7GJ trying for CP6UA.

Prevailing conditions continue to be poor... monitoring VK5RBV this morning and the 'pipeline' seems to be there.. a constant very low level signal with MS enhancements. Best was this captured at 2219z the start of a 60 sec burn.

6m burst into life this afternoon with Es cloud covering much of the SE corner of VK... after a couple of initial SSB contacts, WSPR was run.... producing some very strong 'contacts' with just 10w TX including Bob ZL1RS.

Another incredible day of Summer Es and Au in the Northern Hemisphere... and you can see what 's been worked down here!

Yawn... how I long for the return of decent propagation. I left the 6m station this morning monitoring WSPR, and just came into shack to notice a very interesting effect on the last visible transmission from George VK4AMG.

I'm assuming it's the impact of a plane creating a multi-path effect (as has been seen on FSK between here and Phil VK4FIL), but since George and I are just on 4.2km apart the plane must have been close!

As we sit here, the doldrums of the mid-Winter Es has truly set the scene for the Southern Hemisphere. But to the contrary has been the activity today in the Northern Hemisphere.... makes what few openings we've had down here pale into insignificance.

Been a couple of weeks since my last post. Some what related to the level of propagation that we've been experiencing here in QG62lp.

This morning (UTC) was monitoring 50MHz WSPR whilst George VK4AMG was running with Leigh VK2KRR and Rob VK1KW... whilst George was understandably strong, just scattery traces of what was most likely VK2KRR in the 0112, 0118 and 0126z slots (as seen in the screen grab below).
