We are allowed to transmit on 5 MHz for exactly 1 week now. Time to evaluate the band conditions and my log. Band conditions as far as I experienced are going up and down and are sometimes very local. Last evening for example I saw a few Dutch stations that were spotted by VE9DX, but not me! However I was spotted by 4X1RF, I didn't see many others that were spotted in Israel. I was only able to get on the radio in the evening and just one morning. So that doesn't give a clear overview of the propagation so far. But what did I work this week on 60m? Lots of Dutch stations of course. But also DX, most of the time on JT65A as it can be done remote from the living room. But I did some SSB as well.
Worked 1st week on 60m: PA4GB (Netherlands), WP3UX (Puerto Rico), M0MPM (England), IZ0MIT (Italy), OZ1TMK (Denmark), HA5CLF (Hungary), A45XR (Oman), VE2DLC (Canada), LZ2DF (Bulgaria), GI0HWO (Northern Ireland), 9A2AA (Croatia), 4X1RF (Israel), WA1NGH (USA), OY1R/MM (Faroer Isl. (not counting for DXCC))

Not bad I think. It could have been several more as there are some West Indies stations active. So far 13 DXCC that count. I don't know exactly how many DXCC can be worked on 5 MHz?
