My adventures in amateur radio in the last few days (July 18-23).

I have worked (talked) with several special event stations on amateur radio in the last few days.

Amateur radio is helping me to maintain and improve my English knowledge. Writing about it also.
Overall the propagation was not very good last week, but I worked with a lot of stations.
On July 18 I worked with I4/HB9GFP on 7166 kHz. He is a Swiss person who stayed in Italy.
The signal reports were 54 and 55.
As I said I worked with a lot of stations but I would like to highlight the special ones in this blog post.
On July 20 I have worked with SP5UUD/P from SPFF-0213 (Sadliński Protected Landscape Area), Poland on 7150 kHz and with OK1IEC/P from OKFF-0662 (Libouchecké rybníčky Nature Reserve), Czech Republic on 7147 kHz.
I also worked with HG17DV from Budapest, Hungary on 7150 kHz and HF6TWG from Wrocław, Poland on 7165 kHz.

HG17DV is working on the occasion of the 17th FINA World Championships and HF6TWG is about The World Games 2017.
On July 23 I have worked with SP2YMX from SPFF-0668 (Nature Reserve Białogóra), Poland on 7157 kHz and EN7P from URFF-0021 (Rivnenskyi National Reserve), Ukraine on 7144 kHz.
I have also worked with HB9/M0WML/P and OK1DOY/P on 7135 kHz.
HB9/M0WML/P is an English person stayed in Switzerland. He was on the Piz Umbrail summit (3033m).
OK1DOY/P is Czech person stayed in OKFF-0697 (Marschnerova louka National Park), Czech Republic.

Good to work with the world (or at least the European continent) with amateur radio.

Due to the not so good propagation nowadays and my current antenna I rarely talk with stations outside Europe nowadays.
My antenna (Inverted-V antenna) is not designed for long distance communications but I can speak with stations in the United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan and a lot more distant countries if the propagation is good.

Thank you for reading!
