Conditions on 144 MHz - Sun 29th & Mon 30th Dec 2019

After a relatively quiet day on 28 MHz, I decided to listen for FT8 signals on 144 MHz for the 24 hours from 21:00 on Sunday the 29th of December to 21:00 on Monday the 30th of December 2019.

Using just an indoor Slim Jim vertical half-wave in the attic of my house, this is what I heard...


As you can see, there was some really good tropo conditions on the VHF bands with distances of just over 1,000kms being heard. Not bad for an internal antenna.

The best DX heard was EA1YV 1084kms, F1TRF 1073kms and DL6YBF 1066kms.

Brilliant! I'm there - on that little island called Anglesey! First two days of January currently look good for more of the same, perhaps even stronger than this past week.
