Suprise of the Es season 2022 - update

I think we all were suprised today seeing Yemen on the band :-O  

Fresh info as usual on DX-World. Tough guy, isn't it? ;-) https://www.dx-world.net/7o-dl7zm-yemen/

Not judging is it legal or it's not, David is known from his previous one man hardcore operations from mountains in 4L - Georgia in 2016 #LN01 2017, 2019 and 2021 #LN11. 

Here's a brief story of his brave dxp in 2021, a must read!

Almost fell of the chair when red line apperared on  the screen, I was lucky to get probably one of his first QSO's on 6m, and probably first from SP-7O.  

As always, WFWL. 

Fingers crossed he will update his "papers" to ARRL. 


By the way,  for those unfamiliar with his operating style, it's absolutely normal he is qsy'ing to CW in the middle of FT8 operation. Happened before in 4L - watch out for info "LOW POWER" etc. 

If his setup is similar to the one used in 4L, he is powered by flexible solar panels and car batteries.. CW need less power than full carrier FT8.
