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 256 – 265 and more Alimast building
Another bumper update so again it’s a list – It makes sense (to me anyway) to provide a list like this as it saves extra typing! I’m especially pleased by the QSO with TR8CA using PSK125 – I’d seem them work a few stations and suddenly there was a change in the audio, I was […]
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 […]
Days 243, 244 and 245 – Late night data
These days were while I was still on holiday and as tends to happen when I’m not at work, I become slightly nocturnal. On one day in particular I went to bed, really couldn’t sleep and ended up getting up, coming back into the shack and playing radio. On day #243 I first worked OK1DX, […]
Days 240, 241 and 242
I’ve become a bit lapse in updating the blog with QSO details and so I’m a few days behind here – I’ll try and catch up over the weekend. But just because I’m not writing the blog doesn’t mean I’m not using the radio. On day #240 I first worked a few more stations on […]
Days 237, 238 and 239 – some JT65, RTTY, SSB, PSK31 and even some FM
I’ve noticed that my operating tends to go in phases, sometimes I’ll work just 40m, or other times I’ll be operating exclusively on SSB and at the moment I’m in a datacomms phase where a huge chunk of my time is spent operating the data modes. So to kick off, on day #237 I first […]
Days 234, 235 and 236
It’s holiday time now so I’m spending a little more time on the wireless. Of course, because it’s holiday means that I’m out and about doing stuff during the day and taking time late at night when I’d normally be in bed to play radio. I’ve had an update from John at Aerial-Parts of Colchester to […]
Days 231, 232 and 233 – RTTY!
There was a Sporadic E opening on 6m on day #231 and so I was pleased to work HA3LI, Ali, IZ5EME, Marco, IW4AOT, Peter, IK4ASR, Davide and IZ3SQW, Mirko using just my homebrew indoor half wave dipole. I then switched over to 40m and spoke to GP3ZPE/P, Paul on Guernsey and then worked a couple […]
JT65A, working DX with low power
Over the last few months I’ve mentioned JT65, or to be more precise, JT65A a lot and it’s fair to say that I’ve had a lot of QSOs using it. In fact, at the moment it’s probably my favourite mode of operation. I explained about how a contact is made using JT65 in this blog […]
Days 228, 229 and 230 – One more new DXCC and plenty of JT65
My last QSO on day #227 was a new DXCC so it was a nice surprise for my only contact on day #228 to be another new one – I worked Eduardo, CO8LY in Cuba on 17m PSK31. I had a lot more contacts on day #229 though, I started off by talking to IV3SUS, […]
