Exciting isn't it. What will the weekend bring on 10m? So far the index is not that bad. But today was not that full of DX like yesterday. Although I received ZS6WB again this morning with a incredible +6dB!

I was not on the radio via remote at the right time to make QSOs. Since I'm on the job and am limited to my coffee/lunch breaks only I have no choice. Hopefully I will find the right times to be on the radio this weekend.
The PA6AA crew lend me their 4 element LFA (G0KSC design) for 10m. I'm planning to get it up in my portable mast. However, the weather forecast is not that good for the weekend so I've to see if it is possible to get on with my plans anyway...if not I will use my HF5B at 14m. The HF5B is just a 2 elements and has not that much gain. A choice between 2 antennas could get me some extra contacts.
I hope I did bring the hamradio world some inspiration to participate in the ARRL 10m contest. As a contester or as a SWListener. If so, wishing you all good luck and hope to work you in CW/SSB this weekend.
