K9W Wake Atoll - QSL card confirmed and Amsterdam story continued ....

K9W Wake Atoll 2013 QSL Card

Latest arrival in my collection. K9W Wake Atoll 2013 QSL card. Great DX-Pedition now is history. Great thrill it was to chase them on the bands. .... Thanks again!

On the picture there 24.955 frequency can be seen .... this is my today`s target Amsterdam FT5ZM on 12M "to do list", now sorted. Took a while but done. CW was quite "easy" when I was waiting for them on their frequency and it was a time when no spot from 12M CW was posted recently on DX Cluster .... needed some job to work them but Great OP on the other side (UA3AB) was doing great show on 24Mhz CW. 

SSB was no possible when band was wide open. Spilt was so wide and whole World was calling them. Maybe except VK/ZL ... Anyway I was waiting for best time to work them on SSB and it was around 15:00 UTC. Band was almost closed from their direction and thankfully Operator on the other side did not ask NA only! We at the end of Europe need to fight hard to beat EU pile-up. 

Same story I had on 21Mhz SSB.... best time to work them from EI when band is closing from their location 
....
What will be my next target ? 30M ... will try from home QTH ... not best direction for my dipole. We might change 40M Moxon at EI0PL for 30m just to work FT5ZM on 30M ...
