| I thought that I'd start a new topic for the magic band as it's starting to slowly pick up.
I only have a halo on the band and will have to do something about that at some point.
With the chance of meteor enhanced Es about during the current Geminids meteor shower I had a listen on FT8.
So far today I have worked IV3BLQ at 1330 Km |

| It's 50.313 Alan, not been near the radio for a few hours, but it is the season where Winter Es can happen  Will give it a blast now for a short while. |

| Last one of the day IK3BNO 1260Km (FT8). Almost certainly all contacts today were meteor assisted Es as we are in the middle of the Quadrantids shower. |

| 28MHz was starting to show signals from Scandinavia which is fairly unusual so I took a look at 50MHZ and managed to work SM3GSK and LA5LJA on FT8 |

| This Thursday (and every second Thursday of the month) there is a 6 metre activity contest from 20:00 to 22:30. Not everyone likes contests, but it's hardly likely to be wall to wall on 50MHz.
Chance of some good tropo too, although that may be better on Friday. |

| My last post highlighted a problem all round. Mirko (9A2ID) and I just think there is a lack of activity on 50MHz, just think how many new countries etc could have been worked in those 50+ minutes where we heard each other at very good signal levels and we both heard nobody else. FOR NEARLY AN HOUR! If you have a 50MHz capable radio, at least put up a dipole and listen from time to time and monitor on PSK reporter if something may be going down  |
