I had a nice lot of QSOs on day #337, largely on the higher bands again. I was up at a reasonable time and had a couple of CQ shouts on 10m, first working UV3QF, Igor and UA6BCB, Vlad. I was then nicely surprised to be called by ZL4CZ, Steven who was a nice loud […]

Days 317, 318 and 319
I worked a few RTTY stations in the early hours of day #317 on 40m carrying on with the contest from the day before, they were W3LL, VA2UP, IK4CLF, UA9OG, OM7OM, Z37M, WA2TMC, K9NR and IW1QN. In the morning I spoke to RW9JZ, Leo and EW6DX, Igor on 10m SSB. Later I switched to 12m […]
Days 311, 312 and 313 – I have an amplifier
I started off day #311 on 20m when I spoke to IN3LQB, Paul before I moved to 10m and worked A61AS, Salem and TA1BX, Burhan. I then moved to 12m to talk to JT1BV, Naran. This was followed by three PSK31 contacts on 15m with LY2CK, Fred, UY2IC, Aleksandr and UT1Ef, Stanislav. Later in the […]
Days 309 and 310 – The Ukrainian DX Contest
Day #309 started as any normal day, I had a few QSOs. I first worked UA3QBL, Vlad and UA4NX, Eduard on 10m PSK31 and then spoke to UN7BEW, Alex on SSB. I also worked IZ1DGG, Alf on 20m and then RA9KY, Nick, HZ1SK, Samir and Z21BB, Fernando in Zimbabwe for a new DXCC. A while […]
Days 307 and 308 – eight new DXCC entities in the log
I started off on day #307 working TU2T on 10m followed by CN2DX, Andre and then PJ5/SP6IXF, Janusz in St. Eustatius & Saba for a new DXCC. I then spoke to FG5DH, Christian in Guadeloupe for another new DXCC entity. I then worked TU2T twice more, on 12m and 17m. I’ve said before that I don’t really […]
Days 304, 305 and 306 – A new eQSL certificate
I don’t actually log onto eQSL too often but I did a couple of days ago and realised that I’d reached 75 confirmed countries via their Awards page so I requested and duly received the appropriate certificate. The general perception is that there are more people actively uploading to eQSL than there are to LoTW […]
Days 296, 297 and 298 – I finally worked T32C
Day #296 was the day of the aerial work although before we started tearing my aerials down, I had a quick ‘banker’ QSO just in case things didn’t go well. I worked JG1WNO, Hiro on 10m JT65 early in the morning. After all the work was done and my beam was up, my first QSO […]
Days 283, 284, 285 and 286 – PSK31 sign-offs
Day #283 was the first day back home after I’d been away all weekend for the RSGB Convention and I realised very quickly that morning that perhaps I should have taken the day off to recover. Although I’d been sensible and not had really late nights while away, they were still long days and I […]
Days 266 to 275, Alimast sections are all assembled
Lots of QSOs over these ten days, with quite a few data contacts during contests. Here’s a list. At the weekend I finished off the assembly of my Alimast sections. I’d done a lot on Saturday as per my previous update but having ripped so much skin off my knuckles, the first thing I did […]
Days 246 to 255
To get me back up to date, I’m going to do a couple of big updates and because each one will cover around ten days it’s going to be a log extract in the form of a list as I reckon that’s the easiest way to do it. There’s a nice range of contacts there […]
