June 29, 2017 R17RUS (Russian Cup Special) was probably the most popular DX but there were others, S57DX (Slovenia), 5B4AJC (Cyprus) and HV0A (Vatican) for example. Not such a good overall week but still plenty of activity. I managed to work some DX myself this week A71AE (Qatar) and HS0ZIV (Thailand). What a magnificent antenna array he has, Optibeam 18-6; Optibeam 2-30,that is 18 elements 10m-20m/40m; 2 elements 30m.
