Equatorial Guinea is NOT a magic place for 6m propagation. It is a few degrees only above the equator, so all TE (Transequatorial ) propagation is out of the question.

But it is rare DX!

There are paths open quite often to Europe on the north-south path. In August to November, there are normally openings to PY and often extremely strong. Here are some of the trends that I have tabulated showing how propagation may change during the year. Propagation in 1998

Hear some of the qso's from 3C5I.

My early station:

Vertical polarization was used in an attempt to minimise the TV hash generated by the local TV on 48.2504 (horizontally polarised).
