Yeah!! A QSL arrived!!!

Today I've got QSL from South Africa. It is from AF-064 Robben Isl. Worked them on 20 m SSB and this is a new IOTA for me.

This is the Island where Nelson Mandela spent most of his Life in prison. But that is history now.
Nice card and it pushed my IOTA score up one more Point.

This weekend it is CQWW RTTY Contest. And I will chase some new ones if conditions will permit it!

That's all for now. CUL

Bad conds and no QSL's!

Activity is low from all sides as I have not received a single QSL and no spectacular QSO to brag about. The only thing that is Active is the sun. At the moment K index is 6 and if you look to the right side of this blog you can see a lot of red saying "POOR". Worked a few new IOTA. What about VK5MAV/6 from OC-266 and SV8/IZ4JMA from EU-075. But that is just about all.
Autumn is here and the colours in nature is starting to change to orange. My neighbour's animals is enjoying Life as it is as you can see on the Picture.

Hope the sun will calm down a bit. I'm missing D6 on 160, 80 and 40. Hope the team present on Comoros at the moment will be Active on low bands. But conds have to improve!!!

Take care and CUL

DX Meeting in Jönköping.

The first DX-Match DX meeting happened this weekend in the city of Jönköping. Lots of interesting talks. What about the following:
DF6JC talked about ooperation from Lord Howe, VK9DLX. LA7GIA about his operations from Africa as 3C7A, D67GIA and an upcoming to TL8AO. DL6KVA talked about the fantastic operations from VP8STI and VP8SGI. He also talked about his adventure in Russia working very rare RDA's. LB2TB talked about VK9CK Cocos (Keeling). SM6CPY talked about his adventures in Africa as 9X0PY and 5H3CJ. And K9CT held 3 interesting talk's about Navassa K1N and Palmyra K5P and his fantastic Contest station he has in the US.

Here is a Picture when Craig held one of his talk's. Quality of Picture is not so good as it was from my I-phone. There was about 90 hams listening to the interesting talk's. Next DX-Meeting will be held same time in two years from now.

So there have been no radio this weekend but now I'm home and today I will perform some maintenance on my RX Antenna K9AY to prepare it for the dark season??!!

So, Take care and CUL
