Great surprise from Malawi!

Weather is disaster today. Windy , cold and wet. Multi-band antenna is down on the mast here and pointed to NA. I was calling CQ on 30m for few moments and had some QSOs. Few EU loogged today and 2 USA West-Coast. Not many California stations in my log on 10Mhz. Great signals by the way. Then decided to give try on 28Mhz ... no much there today. QSYed to 15m. My signal on Reverse Beacons much better. Great SNR in USA. 36dB - this is a lot , especially when my antenna is down at 3m above the ground and 100W here. CQ CQ de EI9KC and ... 7Q7BP is calling me! This is not usual situation. More likely people calling him ... Malawi in Africa ... no question to ask. And Joe (his home call is G3MRC) is calling me on 15Mhz ... my hand is shaking .... Completed 2-WAY QSO , I gave him 559 and he gave me 599. Uff ...  When we finished a few stations started calling him by the way on "my frequency". No reply noticed. I had one QSO with Joe in Malawi last year in February on 28Mhz. QSO confirmed on LoTW already. Many thanks 7Q7BP Joe for your CALL! QSO to remember! CU AGN de EI9KC, 73!

Fernando de Noronha - on low bands.

PP1CZ is currently active from Fernando de Noronha as  PY0F/PP1CZ. I needed this entity on few band. And looks like now 160m and 20m ;) left to complete! Last night .... I was trying on 40m but without luck pile-up was not too bad but QRM yes. Leo QSYed to 80m and here we are. Not many stations from EU copied him that time ... I did it! Well ... to be honest QRMer from 40m QSYed too ... Not sure 100% about correct entry in his logbook. We will see. Maybe another opportunity will be here to give try on 80m. Best condition will be in the morning I think. Now when I am writing this note Leo is active on 40mCW. I was trying to reach him 3 days .... today did it! 40mCW logged for sure! I was waiting for him on 7.004 but he showed up on 7.002 tonight ;) It was my 2`nd QSO today with him. 15mCW logged as well early in the afteroon today.

Great condition on Low Bands tonight!

HS0ZEE famous dit dit Don from Thailand is very busy on the bands almost every day. Last year I couldn`t reach him on 80m! Tried several times .... no luck. He had great signal in my location but I had no luck. Until now ! Kingdom of Thailand logged on 80m! As New DXCC of course! Many thanks Don!

Singapore on 30m anyone ?

Great QSO logged tonight! 9V1YC James this time for 3`rd time in my log - now on 30m! Brand new DXCC on this band. To be honest he is very active on low bands last weeks but I had no luck to get him on 10Mhz. Until now! On the picture here QSL card from 80m and 15m band. Many thanks!

200 DXCC confirmed on 15m

Nice QSL card received direct today. 9Y4/DL7VOD Gerd. New country for me on few bands. Did some calculation and this is my 202 DXCC confirmed on 21Mhz. Thanks for fast QSL Gerd! 73!

Welcome first New One in 2013

Carl SM6CPY is back in Rwanda! Using his Rwanda call-sign 9X0PY. And EI9KC is happy to log him on 20mCW as New Country on HF! Went bit early from work today. Still bright outside .... decided to give a try ... checked cluster where he is , antenna up and here we are! Many thanks Carl! First New One in 2013.  And .... my 12000`th QSO logged! I will try to reach you on another bands. Good Luck to All!

Afghanistan on 80m

This is video made shortly after my QSO with T6LG IIlian from Afghanistan. New DXCC on 80m! And 2`nd attempt to log his station on this band. First time, few weeks ago he was strong like today in my location and I was one-by-one with him on the frequency and ... he couldn`t read my signal. I didn`t know why until I read his note on his QRZ.com profile " (Here is the level of the noise (QRM): 80m-S9 plus 20db, ) " it was impossible to break that barrier! Now his local noise level is reduced to S2 ! Tonight I`ve went to his frequency and was listening for a while. I was looking at his spilt and his style of operating. FB operator he is! When pile-up was starting to be smaller EI9KC needed just one call to reach Afghanistan on 80m! It was pleasure QSO! I  knew where he was listening and I knew where he will be ... This is OLD SCHOOL of DXing ... Listen , listen before Call !
