I’ve run a bit more data over these three days than I have for a while largely because my mind has been preoccupied with the plans for a big move at work and it’s easier to throw the wireless on and have a data contact than it is to actually speak to someone! I’m a […]

Days 213, 214 and 215
One QSO on day #213, I worked 9A2YM, Steve on 12m. I’ve only had four QSOs on 24MHz so it was nice to use the band again and he was a mighty fine signal! On day #214 I started off on one of the other WARC bands and spoke to E77YZ, Adis in Sarajevo on […]
Days 175, 176 and 177 – I’ve now worked 100 DXCC entities
I’ve done a fair bit of data over these three days, largely but not exclusively down to a contest at the weekend which was 75 baud RTTY and PSK63. Day #175 didn’t include a contest though but I still had a go with some PSK – I worked SP3SLO (Paul), F8KHR (Dom), OK1DOZ (Beda), UT1PA […]
Days 169, 170 and 171 – WSPR on 6m and Contestia
I started day #169 by working a couple of Special Event stations on 40m, I worked MU/EA1SA followed by GB0GCR and GB2MOF then I had a contact with EA3PT, Jordi on 15m. I then had RTTY QSOs on 20m with TF5B, Billi and PI65ALK. It was the 6m Trophy contest and so I gave away […]
Days 139, 140 and 141 – Fun on the Martello Tower
Day #139 was very nearly my downfall due to an unforeseen circumstance. I got home from work, had my tea and headed off to the Colchester Radio club with my lad to see a practical demonstration of the CW leg of the 80m CC contest. All was going well until I had a ‘phone call from a […]
Days 133, 134 and 135 – I’ve got a new logbook
I had three QSOs on day #133, I worked KA1ERL, Russell in Rhode Island on 20m JT65 and then switched to SSB and spoke to IR0LJ, Emilio. Later I changed to 40m where I had a nice long chat with Steve, M1ACB in Ipswich. Steve is a member of Camb-Hams and we had a talk […]
Days 130, 131 and 132 – Playing QRSS
I’ve only worked four stations over the three days but have been playing QRSS again. On day #130 I first spoke to ON5KQ, Ulli on 40m – I was only using 10w for this contact and then I had a chat with Terry, G4BFS up near Norwich on the same band. Terry was using a […]
Days 127, 128 and 129 – The end of GR6NHU
These were three bumper days on the radio, I operated exclusively with my Royal Wedding callsign for them and ended up with a nice number of QSOs in the log. Over the period I had 166 contacts using GR6NHU over a total of 38 DXCC entities including one new one for me. I know some […]
Days 124, 125 and 126 – GR6NHU gets more airtime
I was expecting it to be tricky on day #124 as I knew I’d be potentially very late home from work after a meeting of the Hadley Wood Contest Group so I threw the wireless on first thing in the morning and was rewarded with a JT65 QSO on 20m with VK4BDJ, David in Queensland, […]
Days 121, 122 and 123 – Denmark on 144MHz
Day #121 started with a few JT65 QSOs on 20m, I worked RA9WE, YV6BFE, OH2BPO and OK1NZJ before jumping over to 40m SSB and working a few special callsigns – GR0GMN, Jim in Scotland, MR0XDX, Paul in Mablethorpe, 2R0NOC, Colin in Ashford, GB4HRH, Paul, GB5RER, Peter, GB0PPS, Pete in Petworth, GR3)CA, Ken in Derby, MR0MAU, […]
