I am reorganising my station, so the activity level is not so high.
Yesterday, however, 1296MHz was open up to a few hundred km.
I didn't make QSOs, but with my omnidirectional vertical monoband antenna I could hear 9 beacons during the day and evening:
OZ7IGY (of course, it's local at 26km, and always audible) - Everyting else is over about 200km
SR1KOL at about 270km
OZ1UHF at 222km
DB0XY at 438km
SK6MHJ at 229km
SK6UHG at 261km
SK1UHG at 416km
LB2SHF at 369km
LA3SHF at 372km
I am pretty sure I would have heard more beacons with a horizontal antenna, but this tells me that propagation was very good.
Yes, a horizontal antenna system is in the planning, probably for spring next year.
