New DXCC on 6m.

There have been DX signals on 6m every day for about 2 weeks.

I have received signals from 6 continents, and had QSOs with 4:

North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Last one was TR8CA today, Gabon, Africa using FT8.

All this with a small station, using a V-2000 antenna and 75W from my IC-7300.

I should try building a better antenna for 6m, capable of running more power. I do have a linear, and it would be nice to be able to run 3-400W with a bit of a directional antenna.

I can recommend the YU7EF designs Jan. Quite easy to build with aluminium from the DIY store. A 4 element would be suitable I guess. 73, Bas
