📈 DXpedition Insight

Market Reef (EU-053) is a rare and harsh location, known for unpredictable sea and wind conditions. Activations from this reef are always brief and highly sought after. This solo operation by IZ0EWJ is expected to generate strong interest among IOTA and 6m chasers alike.

📌 Tip: Keep an eye on 6 meters if you're in Europe—the Yagi setup suggests a real chance at Sporadic-E openings!
