Vanuatu - target hit!

YJ0VK Oceania DX Group Dx-pedition from Vanuatu was my next target after T32C and 3D2R. Today in the morning Vanuatu is logged on 20m SSB! Great condition on the bands! New DXCC on HF!

Brand New Somalia

Michael PA5M is now operating as 6O0M from Somalia. I was trying today on 28Mhz but no luck ... antenna is down because of strong wind (as usual at this time of year) .... later on he was operating on 18Mhz and ..... I`ve worked him with just one call! Brand New DXCC for me, never worked before!

Cook Island - Direct QSL

Great QSL today in my box! E51JD Jim from Rarotonga, Cook Island. Famous Scout Operator is confirming my QSO on 14Mhz SSB. QSL Direct came from Pacyfic Ocean paradise. Nice surprise I`ve found in the envelope .... coin from Cook Island! Thank you Jim. Great souvenir!

East Kiribati on .... 28Mhz

Another post about T32C ... because I`ve worked East Kiribati on 28Mhz SSB at 19:00 local time! I`m very happy with that QSO. It reminds me fine propagation years ago on 11m when Hawaii Island were strong in the morning by L/P and in the evening by S/P. Team on Kiritimati (Christmas Island) has good antennas! This is full professional DX Pedition! And .... few minutes after my QSO on 10m .... T32C logged again on 12m CW! And on final 3D2R Rotuma Isl worked again this time on 15m CW ...  what a day !!!

200 countries worked CW!

International expedition is now QRV from Christmas Island - East Kiribati. Two operators from EI are Team members (EI5DI & EI9FBB)! Great signal they had yesterday in the morning on 30m but they just started and pile-up was massive! Second day on AIR and I`m happy to log them on 17m CW. QSO made in the evening local time when they called EU. T32C is my 200 DXCC worked by CW mode and Brand NEW on HF!

Another new one in my log, contacted yesterday was 3D2R Rotuma Island on Pacyfic Ocean. International Team as well. Rotuma is new on HF. I had a QSO/QSL with this island from 11m band yeras ago. Nice one anyway!

Rock on Rockall EU-189

Most Wanted IOTA from Europe .... EU-189 Rockall Island now QRV on 40m.

Great effort by Belgian Team on Rockall HATS OFF! Many thanks for NEW IOTA!
