Very fast delivery of QSL

Hello  to you all out there.
I worked V44KAI 23 of May (18 MHz) and 9 of June (14 MHz).
Yesterday the QSL arrived! New record for me. Hats off for QSL Mgr W5FTW!!!
I also received ST2AR for confirmation on 50 MHz. Both these contacts where also confirmed on LoTW almost the same day.



Midsummer celebration is coming up on Friday but the real Midsommer was on 21 of June. And now it is down hill again towards shorter days and long nights and hopefully lots of DX on low bands!!??

QSL via Buro!

Visited our Radioklubb (SK5DB) and picked up some QSL cards. And found the following.


And there was also cards from E51, ZF, DU9, 9M6 and AP. So it works OK through buro as well as direct.

Take care out there and enjoy the summer. Soon we will have the white stuff back!!

VP8ORK South Orkney

WOW!
Today the QSL from VP8ORK operation dropped down in my mailbox. Almost X-Mas!!
Yesterday I received 4A4A and today VP8ORK. What next??
Managed to work them on 7, 10, 14, 18 MHz and once again on 10 MHz as I was entered into Club-Log as SM6CBM. So I worked them once more on 30 m. But on the QSL they have corrected this misstake. Well done!!


This is very nice indeed!!

Take care.

QSL from 4A4A

Today the QSL from 4A4A arrived. 8 pages of QSL! Very nice indeed! This will push my IOTA up one point as well as my DXCC up a few points!!?? NA-030, not bad at all. TNX EB7DX for delivery of QSL. 4A4A was week but not to difficult to work up here at 60 deg North. I managed to catch them on 7, 10, 14, 18 and 21 MHz all CW contacts.


Isn't it nice? I think so. This is the final reward when you spend hours at the radio trying to catch these rare ones.

Take care all of you out there and remember to keep your Main and Return pressure (I mean Systolic and Diastolic pressures) low at all times.

New toy!!

I have purchased a K42 keyer from K1EL to be used together with my TS-570S that I use only on 50 MHz. The built-in keyer in TS-570S do not sound very well. But now I have a brilliant CW with correct spacing. Looks OK on top of my TS-570S, or............................?



Nice kit and quite easy to assembly. But I don't reccomend this kit to a non-experienced guy in how to use a soldering gun. I spend around 3 hr including some coffee breakes.

Have a nice day and remember to take care of your heart
