Last night and this morning we had strong tropospheric propagation on 144MHz.
Half a score of G stations,, a few DL, PA, LA and SPs. have been worked with my Big Wheel antenna. Yes, I still do not have any beam antenna mounted for 144MHz, just the omnidirectional
The Big Wheel is not really an ideal antenna, but much better than a vertical for working DX on 2m, and it can take more power than the vertical. I was working with about 200W at the antenna.
This morning I noticed that DL7QY in Southern Germany was reporting "my" local 10GHz beacon OZ9GHZ. I still have the 10GHz RX setup used for QO100 only, but at some time I must mount some (at least) RX setup for 10GHz terrestrial listening.
