Papua Again ...

P29VLR Green Island (IOTA OC-231) just worked again on 17m this time! Great signal it was but pile-up was so strong and I had little chance to break it through with 100W. When they QRX for about 20min and they came back again ... there was no-one to give them a call back! But I was on the frequency , waiting for them! Good Fun, thank you!

CW vs SSB

I`ve started HF with SSB ... then few months later I`ve decided learn CW. And at the moment for first time I`ve got more DXCC worked CW than SSB!

157 (CW) x 156 (SSB)

4 x 4

Great condition on the bands today! 4 new DXCC worked on HF!

A25FC Botswana 15m SSB

XV2RZ Vietnam on 17m and 20m CW

BU2AU Taiwan on 20m SSB

P29VLR Papua New Guinea - Green Island (IOTA OC-231) on 20m CW

Great opening on 10m today as well. In my log ZD7FT from Saint Helena / YB4IR from Indonesia and A71EM from Qatar. Good stuuf!

CQ JA part II

Last night I had good fun with stations from JA worked on 14Mhz CW. Like last time, I was calling CQ JA on 14.037Mhz and JA8LRG gave me a call back. It was Fumihiko Sato from Sapporo. He put my station to cluster and then I`ve got big pile-up from Japan. As I`m still learning CW it was a bit stage fright for me ... Anyway .... last night 9 stations from Japan logged. Thank you for your patience Folks! I will try to do my best with CW and only real QSO let me it! Sayonara and see you soon on the bands JA!
