Re: 6M DX report Sunday 6/4

Yes. I did work EA8YV as reported. I had been watching a newscast by Tamitha Skov earlier that morning in which she reported that the good propagation we had been experiencing was from a sun spot that had rotated from view to earth and that conditions were quickly declining and would be quiet for about 1 week, pending another sun spot on the back side of the sun that would rotate into view. I was tuning to see how poor conditions were and heard the weak CW CQ from EA8YV. While answering his CQ (I was running 100W from the TS-590SG), I hit the amp ON switch and the 3 minute timer started ticking. So the QSO on my end was 100W until the final 73 when the amp finally was ready. The point is it pays to listen carefully. Plus a bit of luck; Ya had to be at the right place at the right time.
