What can be achieved in twelve hours of 20m JT65/JT9?
WSPR is great, I enjoy running WSPR and seeing how far I can transmit using very low power but there are a couple of drawbacks. I appreciate this will sound as though I’m knocking WSPR but trust me, I’m really not. Firstly, it’s not a QSO mode. I accept that many years ago, some QSOs were […]

QSO365 statistics and final review of 2011
To start with I’ll post the basic statistics for the entire year of 2011. It should be noted that these figures only include contacts made using G6NHU so any QSOs had by GR6NHU aren’t included. QSOs made: 4138 Unique QSOs made: 3045 Average QSOs per day: 11.3 Days missed: 0 <– This is the most […]
Review – December
No major contests this month so the total QSO count isn’t as high as the previous couple of months but it’s still a very respectable number of contacts. As I work more countries it’s getting more tricky to add new ones and this will only continue. I think that the statistics for this month are […]
Days 364 and 365 – Some QRSS and a bit of everything to wrap up QSO365
It feels a little odd to be writing this final regular update for QSO365. It really doesn’t seem like a year ago that it all started and I’m a little relieved to be posting this update, knowing that the project has been a resounding success with not only a QSO made every day of 2011, […]
My amateur radio review of 2011
I’ll post the full stats for QSO365 in a few days once the project has finished but in the meantime I wanted to get some notes made regarding amateur radio in 2011 as it relates to me. To put it simply, I’ve had a great year! The QSO365 project has given me the opportunity to […]
Days 361, 362 and 363 – Some nice DX and just what is this ROS thing?
I started day #361 in what’s become the usual way, I had two 40m JT65 QSOs, working DK6AN and DG6AOY before switching to 15m SSB and talking with LZ1ND, Ted and 5V7MA in Togo. I then spoke to HS0ZGQ, Joe in Thailand on 10m. After that I worked I2OHO, Luciano and RA3GS on 20m followed […]
Days 358, 359 and 360 – It’s Christmas!
Day #358 was Christmas Eve and so I had some QSOs first thing in the morning before I went off to hook up with the other members of the Martello Tower Group at the local cafe for a late breakfast before heading over to Coastal Communications for the traditional Christmas Eve nibbles. I first worked […]
