Not much that’s for sure, and when I have been on propagation has been awful with geomagnetic disturbances. With 20\/15m parallel dipoles I’m limited to those bands until my new antenna is operational.
The JA dx contest was a few weeks ago and it was all I could do to make dozen or so Qs. Sent in the log – who knows maybe I’ll get a certificate for something or another.
Then there was the Florida QSO party. Another disaster and all I could do was make a couple of dozen Qs. Sent in the log for that one as well.
This weekend was the 7QP but I didn’t hear much so spent the weekend working on my new antenna.
We are on the upswing for cycle 25 so things will get better that’s for sure.
