Fortunately, impoving of DX conditions are visible. Slight, but visible.

Nice and long 20m opening on Saturday evening, but Suday was worse. 15m was better on Sunday. Nice to see 10m alive. Low bands were not as good as during last years. 160m almost empty.

Funny tactic was applied to me:
„Please, this frequancy is in use.“ announced me IZ2 station after my cca 2 hours of running CQ on the same frequency.
My answer was: „Yes, is in use by me for couple of hours“.
Then he started to call CQ on my frequency. NA started to be opened on 20m, so I was QSY there. Based on DX cluster, he left the frequncy 10 minutes later. No idea, what was going on.

I’m quite satisfied with result. How many points were stolen by Mr. Special Operation’s escapade?
Politics must be out of HAM radio. But could the crimes committed in UR have zero impact on someone, including HAMs?

Hope to meet really everybody in CW leg again.
