What an interesting TEC map from 0600z... never seen the remnant hot spot left in the Pacific like this before


KH6HME/B 50.0606 making at appearance @ 0454z



Just to add some interest (and frustration), now listening to JAs working 3D2C on 50.110 CW.


And some more JA's calling 3D2C 20 minutes later.



Nice surprise! Fred KH7Y CQn on 50.105.

The online log for the 3D2C DXpedition has updated overnight, wih all 14 band slots worked so far now confirmed.


Been chasing another DXpedition while waiting for 6m to fire up... so far I've worked 3D2C on 9 bands (160 - 10m) and 14 band slots, and as at their last log update 10 slots were confirmed (the remaining 4 slots have been worked post the log update).


TEP condx just starting on 6m. R1 TV video signals and the 'Warbler' already in, but not yet loud with signals peaking RS51.


But what's interesting is the appearance again of the very raspy signal on 49760.420KHz... it's propagated in via TEP but with what looks like ~20Hz sidebands, not sure if it's just a very dirty video signal or data!


And the JE7YNQ beacon making it's appearance at RST529
