Welcome QSL cards arrived in post a couple of days back... HK0NA Malpelo Island DXpedition 2012. Confirming contacts from 10m to 20m inclusive.

The first 50MHz TEP to follow our winter reached QG62lp today... worked just under 30 JA's on 6m. A happy way to finish the weekend.

The scatter path to FNQ continues... VK4RTL a 'good' signal again.

Some scatter about today. VK4RTL has been a constant, albeit very low level, signal this morning.

But what has had me most intrigued is the interesting effect on John VK4ZJB's SSB signal today... note the constant carriers approx 30Hz apart that are present during his modulated signal.

Weak sporadic Es link between VK4 and ZL forming... Hedgehope (RE43RX) TV video carrier on 45.250 in, with a weak trace of teh KauKau video ~20Hz lower visible.

Haven't ventured into the shack since Tuesday... damn flu (or what ever I have)!

Whilst there was a few interesting reports from propagation yesterday, this morning MS and Es have prevailed. Currently FK8SIX/B is chirping away at a steady RST539.... an interesting effect from the FSK beacon on SpoecLab!

Over the last couple of days (besides coughing and spluttering) I've concentrated my efforts towards 6m EME, and whilst I've heard Lance W7GJ a couple of times off the moon, I've not been successful in completing any of the skeds that were established at both MR and MS.Following is a screen grab of Lance calling George VK4AMG yesterday.

But just monitoring MR this morning while Hal N7NW and John VE1ZF were running, this unusual carrier was observed just above 50.190MHz. Normally monitoring this on SpecLab it's a stable trace, but this morning it had other ideas. Am non the wiser on what it is from. It's not audible, but it's always there!
