On this snowy Patriots Groundhog Day, K1N is cooking away on 20-Meter CW.  Their signal is a solid S6, and the pileup is about 10 KHz wide.  Signals last night on 40-Meters (after the Pats won the Superbowl) were over … Continue reading →

January was a good DX month, with cooperative sunspot activity and plenty of time to enjoy it.  I had hoped to make at least one QSO every day this month, but that was cut short by the Blizzard as I had to … Continue reading →

After finishing up the first of what is bound to be many situation reports for the Red Cross, dealing with the Blizzard currently underway, I took a couple of minutes to check my LotW account.  Low and Behold, two confirmations … Continue reading →

I finally worked EP6T on 17 Meter CW yesterday.  I probably spent about 3 hours trying to work them, and another 9 hours of listening.  Since the pileups were horrible and the ham behavior even worse, I don’t know why … Continue reading →

A couple more LotW confirmations came in from C5X today (still hope to get them on 80M — but they have been a fantastic DXpedition).  That brings my Challenge count to 994.  With QSLs in hand from E40VB, 3B9FR, and … Continue reading →

I spent more than 3 hours listening to EP6T tonight (about 2300 to 0200Z) on 10.122.96 MHz.  Below is a picture of my band scope that shows a typical response to a EP6T CQ — About 6 KHz of tightly packed … Continue reading →

I can sit back and watch the sunspots fade away with the completion of 30 Meter DXCC.  All I have remaining are 80 Meters and 160 Meters DXCC (I doubt I’ll ever complete 160 Meters) — both of which will … Continue reading →

Sort of boring to talk about this, but I’m frankly shocked at how quickly things have been moving.  Lots of decent DX to fill out band-points – probably Europeans escaping the cold! Online OQRS requests from S01WS and T77C should … Continue reading →

Since early-December, I’ve had pretty good luck adding Challenge Points, especially on 12-Meters.  The 100th LotW confirmation for 12 came into LotW tonight, from VP2VGG in the British Virgin Islands (thanks Kevin and Bob for your DXpedition).  This finishes DXCC on six … Continue reading →
