E51CIK & E51WEG by SP6CIK & SP9FIH

Today we mounted 30m vertical and about 4 UTC we should start FT8 on this band.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL SECOND TIME. Please do not repeat QSO on same band, same mode. Please avoid dupes. We do not like that. It is bad behavior and somebody new, looking for ATNO could make QSO during that period.

Due to our engagement to do QSOs and antenna work we do not have enough time to read emails. Please write your comments after 3rd May. As a rule we do not accept eQSL, so please do not send them to us.

Last two days we have very bad windy weather. 40m antenna was destroyed. Also VDA for 12, 17m was broken. We tried to repair antennas but it is not easy…

Please use Fox/Hound mode when calling E51WEG and MSHV mode when calling E51CIK. We operate mostly on following frequencies:

7070

10145

14092 14095

18092

21092 21095

24922

28095

Our signals are going to Europe through North Pole and that path is distorted by polar fluttering. On SSB you can hear typical distortions and on FT8 screen signal is not ideal. Sometimes signals are difficult to decode. Maybe Europe should use “deep” decoding on digital.

Yesterday we obtained E51CIK and E51WEG licenses and mounted most of antennas. Pileup is so big that nobody can go to buy food essential for dxpeditions (beer, eggs, bread, jam). Probably we can survive without food until tomorrow. Please do not call us at least for 1h.
