It’s an off night for the Phillies so combining two hobbies - DX’ing two sides of a #baseball game from somewhere near the middle.
WBAL Baltimore about 110 miles crows flight and WFAN New York about 78 miles.

If you're using 40m or 80m, please remember the 40m band ends at 7200 kHz and the 80m band ends at 3800/3900 kHz in Region 1/3.
Most North American "On The Air" award spots for #POTA #SOTA #COTA #WWFF etc. I see on 40m are between 7200-7300 kHz and missing out on potential #DX contacts. I make quite some transcontinental POTA QSOs on 20m every week - even if you're #QRP, we may be able to hear you on 40m, but not legally allowed to respond!
This is my haul this weekend on the 10m and 6m ham bands. Not too bad, really! All FT8/FT4, but still I'll take it. There's even one all the way down at the Falkland Islands!
FP5KE flight leaving CDG....

I accidentally went down a rabbit hole about the United Nations' station 4U1UN when I made a contact on 10 meter FT8. I ended up writing a history of the station and open letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres!

It's been a GREAT #DX #POTA #parksontheair activation week for me. Yesterday #20m #SSB / #JH1GEX, today 8/8/25 #40m CW #MorseCode / #VK5LA. No Complaints from me about band conditions. That might change in 24 hrs with incoming #SolarStorm #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
