in 9 days, which is a bit disappointing - conditions poor, especially
last weekend. Made only 1 QSO on 160m and 2 QSOs on 80m, so concentrating
on the higher bands. Openings to Europe are often short with weak signals,
which is lowering the QSO rate, but signals from JA and the USA have been
strong. Will be on RTTY tomorrow (28th May) for about 30 mins sometime
between 0600 and 0800 UTC (14082 approx QSX up 8) - will do more RTTY
if things work well. For the first time from Niue, I have a special
permit to operate on 60m - from 0000 Niue time (= 1100 UTC) on 1st June
2009 until 0000 Niue time (=1100 UTC) on 8th June. I can transmit *only*
on 5403.5 kHz (USB for USA, but CW for rest of world), but will listen
on 5371.5 or another channel. The website www.zk2v.com is updated nearly
every day - there is an online logsearch and all QSOs are uploaded to
LoTW every few days. ZK2V is QRV for 25 more days and hoping for better
propagation. QSL direct or via the bureau to N3SL (not ZL1CT)."
