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 […]

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 […]
Review – November
I missed working one hundred countries in November by just four but that’s overshadowed by the fact that I’ve worked a large number of new DXCC entities this month and also have had a load confirmed on LoTW – An extra seventeen entities which has pushed me firmly into my DXCC award. I actually reached […]
Review – October
A great month with lots of QSOs and loads of new countries. That’s down to a mixture of great conditions, a new aerial for the higher bands and the CQWW SSB contest. Even though time is running out, I’m still quite quite confident that I should be able to get 100 DXCC entities confirmed on […]
Review – September
Another good month for QSOs and a very good count for DXCCs worked. My mast is coming along well and I’m hoping it’ll be done in time for CQWW at the end of October. I’m still a long way behind on QSL cards but I’ll catch up eventually. I still say that every QSO will […]
Review – August
A good number of contacts made this month and the second highest number of DXCC entities worked mean that things are going well here at QSO365. I’m still behind on my QSL cards though and am slowly working to catch up. I enjoy writing cards but it is getting a little tedious so once I get […]
Review – July
IOTA weekend gave my QSO count for July a big boost with over 150 of my contacts for the month occurring during that contest. My DXCC entity count continues to grow slowly and so does the number of stations confirmed on LoTW. I’ve not written out any QSL cards for July yet but will hit those over […]
Review – June
Luckily I keep a paper log as well as a computer log so I am able to provide some statistics for the month of June. I can’t give as much detail as usual but the basics are here. QSOs made: 301 QSL cards sent: 231 DXCC entities worked: 49 New DXCC entities worked: 3 DXCC […]
Review – May
May started off with the last few days of the special ‘R’ prefix for the Royal Wedding and so although I had over 300 contacts this month, it’s my lowest month for QSL cards sent because I’ve not done those for GR6NHU yet. Here are my statistics for the month. QSOs made: 339 Running QSO […]
Review – April
Coincidentally April saw exactly the same number of QSOs as January although I worked more DXCCs but only one new entity. It’s been a good month on the air with the band conditions changing a lot and now in the evenings I’m working much more 20m than I’ve done so far this year and the […]
