The New Year has quickly brought us some nice openings to Asia, with numerous JA stations worked the past few days in the hour before our 1221z sunrise. Nice too that some of these were first-time contacts. JD1BMH and HL5IVL also worked.
This seems about a week later than the December Doldrums typically end. Although we did have a couple JA in the log on Dec. 26, there were none the following week. We've also had strong openings to Europe. Our weather is finally acting like winter, with temps in the low teens Fahrenheit today. Yesterday I rebuilt the erratic matching network on my K3LR array, and more outside antenna work is planned today, of course! 73 and good luck DX in 2016, Jon AA1K Delaware www.aa1k.us _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
