I believe Josep was approached by some locals to see what he
could do to get C3 - Andorra active on 6m. Andorra is very rare and has not
been heard or worked during this solar cycle.
The blog explains clearly why 6m activity from this tiny
country is somewhat of a problem.
During this activation I spent the entire time from 0700Z to
1900Z listening out for them. During the late afternoon the South African operators
were rather desperate. It seemed as if the band was not going to cooperate,
then without any warning there was a brief opening and three of the northern
stations managed to work C37AC. The best I got was a feint trace from them on
Spectran and that was it.
Unfortunately, I did not have a QSO with them, but sincerely
appreciate the time and effort Josep and his father made. This clearly shows
that there are still a few very adventurous and unselfish radio amateurs around.
Thank you Josep
