"Today in my box ..."

J5NAR and J5NAR/P Jeta Island AF-093 by HA0NAR Laszlo. Great operator! Thank you for Brand New DXCC for me confirmed by QSL on 4 bands!

WPX CW

I had a hope to take a part in CQ World Wide Contest CW this weekend ... But after few minutes on the bands Saturday in the morning I`ve realize my CW skills are not so good to receive serial numer so fast. TX no problem, but RX ... uff. I need more practice with fast CW.

RTTY into French Polynesia

Another fb QSO with Phil FO8RZ from Tahiti island French Polynesia. This time RTTY! Just one call on 14Mhz with my antena just 3m above the ground and pointed into his location S/P. I`ve check his log and .... I was his first EI on 12Mhz and now first EI station RTTY :) Early in the morning Friday here in Ireland was 8:02 local time and on Thaiti was 22:02 Thursday. Nice one! Many thanks Phil also for rapid LoTW QSL!

"Today in my box ..."

VR2XMT Charlie from Hong Kong. Direct QSL

Jamaica, Papua, ITU Geneva

Last night I had a chance for some QSOs after few days break.

JAMAICA
6Y5WJ Josh from Jamaica was active on 30m and I was trying to make a QSO with him. He returned to my call, I gave him 599 but unfortunately I didn`t copy my report. I`ve send e-mail to Josh with thanks for QSO. Jamaica will be my new DXCC on HF but not this time. I didn`t make 2-way QSO. Next time I hope!
Thanks Josh! I will wait for another chance to work you on the radio.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Wonderful QSL in my box today!

P29CS Andy via M0URX.

Good looking, high quality QSL

ITU Geneva
Brand new DXCC, never worked before. 4U1ITU was very active on the bands today and I had a chance to log this station on 14Mhz SSB.

Razi from Iraq

Not much time for the radio these days. Very busy family life. Very busy. Late at night I had some time for myself and I`ve decided to turn on my radio for few minutes. YI1RZ was active on 14Mhz SSB, my antena was down and his signal in my location was 3/3. I went to my garden to give my delta some hight and from about 6m above the ground Razi from Iraq had 4/4 with me and it was good to give a try. And it was worth it! New DXCC on HF, Iraq worked late night.

Market Reef

Another new on on HF logged today. This time from Europe. Few DXCC remaining from EU and one of them was Market Reef, little island on Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland. I had this prefix in my collection from 11m. Last time when OJ0 was on the air it was CW only opeartion and I just started to be a HAM operator and it was to difficult for me hi hi. This time OJ0W Pasi (OH3WS) is there on Market Reef and I had a QSO with him on 17m CW.
