Franz Josef Land

RI1FJ Eugeny from Franz Joseph Land was my big time inspiration to learn CW. As he operating almost CW only there was no other way to make QSO with him. Today at last on 21Mhz I`ve logged his station! Many thanks for long waiting BRAND NEW DXCC!

LoTW some statistics ....

4A4A update ...

Last night I wasn`t lucky to work them on 14Mhz CW ... signal was too weak and NA wall was too strong to break it. They didn`t call CQ EU so I had no chance with 100W. It was around 23:00 UTC, late but still I was listening them quite well to work.

Today I had a luck to work them twice again! First QSO on 18Mhz CW and just after that 21Mhz and ... RTTY , YES! I was surprised too ;)

LoTW

Logbook of the World ... Today I`ve got my certyficate to use this system of QSO - QSL confirmation. We will se how it will be working. BTW I like eQSL too ;)

Sable Island again logged ....

I was happy with one band slot worked this rare prefix. Today for a short time I was trying to work CY0 again, this time on 20m. Huge EU pile-up. My 100W was so little to break it through ... Then K8LEE was QRT for a while and after 30 min he returned on the same frequency. I knew it he prefers listen 3up and I was prepare to do it as he will be back. And it was good idea! He came back, same frequency listen up .... I was 3up ... one shot and YES! EI9KC logged on 20m CW.
