Wallis & Futuna confirmed.

On Friday I received QSL from Jean-Jacques FW5JJ after QSO on 12, 15,17, 20 m CW and RTTY. According to QRZ.com he will be there a year so hopefully some low band QSO's will take Place during coming dark season!!??

Nice card. And hope Jean-Jacques will trim his low band antennas.

Regarding weather it looks like summer is coming. Temp outside at the moment is around 20 C (68 F). There are some rain showers to pass over today but after that a high pressure system will park over Sweden and hopefully it will stay for a while.

That's all for now. CUL

Some mode and band slots added.

Got the QSL from C21EU today. And a new band slot (15 m) and SSB and RTTY confirmed. Thanks Guenter (DL2AWG).

No new IOTA as I have Nauru Before. But a nice card and thanks for the new modes.

Midsummer is approaching fast. After that it is down hill towards darkness again. And 160 and 80 m DX season starts again!!!.
But let us enjoy the light as for now.

CUL and best Midsummer celebration!

Wow! This is fast!!!

Worked YB4IR/7 on 24 May 2015 and QSL in my hand 15 June 2015. Imam, I'm impressed!!!! This is how IOTA should work. So now I've got OC-268, Marabutan Island confirmed. Thanks again Imam.

Take lesson all other IOTA operators!? I'm now at the sum of 298 ( ! ) confirmed islands. WOW!

If you see some traces of sarcasm in this you are correct. But not against YB4IR. He is a super QSL:er. The sarcasm is to all other out there. I still have 30 QLS's on order via Buro and direct and OQRS. Nothing so far. But I will keep on checking my mail box every day as long as I can transport myself the 200 meters to it!!!!

Something fun. I was having an exam as a brakeman on the museum train yesterday. And I'm now an approved certified  brakeman! Reason for the use of a brakeman is that the small steam Engine has just locomotive brake and nothing on the carriage's. So I actually stops the whole train at stations with a hand brake. So it is nice to be able to stop 45 to 50 tonnes within a few yards!!



Here you have a Picture of the train from Internet.

That's all for now. CUL

QSL from E30FB arrived today!

Today I've got the QSL from Asmara, Eritrea. Worked them on 8 slots. CW, SSB and RTTY. Missed them only on 80 and 160. My GP and 1 KW was not enough to get through their local QRM and the wall of Southern EU!!??

Nice Camel (dromedary). A bit sleepy. Anyway nice to get the card into my collection. I've got it confirmed via LoTW a while ago. But I'm still a bit sad about missing them on 160 and 80.

I have started to paint my house. Colour is red and after a few tiles I got tired and had to get a cup of coffee!!

That's all for now. CUL
