I wound up my GO6NHU operations at the start of the month so whereas G6NHU didn’t get much use over the last two months, I’m back to that again.  The design for my QSL cards for GO6NHU is nearly finished and will be ordered in the next week or so.  My goal is to work […]

Pretty much all I’ve done this month is work data modes using my special Olympic callsign of GO6NHU.  I’ve used my normal callsign just a handful of times, mainly for picking up the five new DXCC entities (Comoros, Guyana, Micronesia, Liberia and Zambia) and for a few more unusual stations such as RI1ANF on South […]

The QSO count makes July look like a better month than it actually was but HF conditions haven’t been good for the majority of the month so I feel that’s reflected slightly in the number of DXCC entities worked.  I agree that ninety-two is a lot but I really thought it would be higher than […]

A busy start to this month but but a quiet last week due to my aerial damage saw just a handful of new DXCC entities although I’ve been told that it gets difficult to find new countries from now on.  I’ve been increasing the band slots for existing countries though and now have my DXCC […]

What a great month May was – A nice number of QSOs, the most DXCCs I’ve worked in a single month ever and a decent amount of new entities including Yemen, The Philippines, Mauritania, Jamaica and Bhutan.  I also worked South Shetland Islands for my first QSO into Antarctica. QSOs made: 801 DXCC entities worked: 117 […]

April started badly for me because I managed to melt my Cushcraft MA-5B on the first day of the month while operating the ‘AFD Contest’,  Ironic really as it was an April Fools Day joke which backfired when the aerial went pop! However it’s been a good month apart from that.  I’ve worked a nice […]

I’ve operated lots of data again during March and have had plenty of fun doing it.  My DXCC count continues to grow slowly and steadily and I’m not far away from having DXCC confirmed on 15m.  It’s been a while since I applied for 10m DXCC so hopefully that will come through soon. My operating […]

I put a lot of QSOs into the logbook during February, the majority of these were data contacts made during a couple of RTTY and PSK contests and I had a lot of fun doing them.  I’ve got fldigi configured how I like it and I’m feeling pretty competent using it during contests.  It doesn’t […]

I’m keen to continue posting the monthly statistics posts so I can keep a track of how things are going and so that I can compare against last years figures.  I’ve made over double the number of QSOs in January this year compared to 2011 and I’m slowly getting more countries confirmed on LoTW.  My […]
