Picture of my Bike!
I promised you a picture after I had visited MOT for my second bike. Well here you are!
It is a Suzuki DL1000. Has about 130 bhp after remapping of the injection system. That work was done by Suzuki Sweden due to bad behaviour in low rpm. And Yes, It passed the MOT without remarks. Next inspection is May 2015. See you on the roads!
No radio this weekend. Worked a few FOC operators only.

QSL from Easter Isl and DXCC update!
Today I received a QSL from Nigel, G3TXF's operation from Easter Isl.They used the call XR0YG and I managed to work them on a few band slots that I was missing CE0. Funny card and as usual quick reply from Nigel.
I also got my last update to ARRL confirmed. So now I have a 8BDXCC as I got 12 m Award confirmed. Also I have 311 DXCC so there are just (!) 35 to go. Hum? But there are only 340 valid. Yes this is correct but I have a few Deleted. Status is 311/305!!! So when will we see P5, and some other rare once out there? I imagine the cost to go to certain DXCC will never happened in my life time. Such as Peter 1:st, Bouvet. But strange things has happened before. I will for sure lsn for the upcoming FT5Z Amsterdam Isl and T33 Banaba Isl as they are new ones for me.

Passed the MOT test!
One of my bikes passed yesterday the MOT Test without any remarks. I promised you all a picture and here it is!
Next test is due in May 2015.
Next bike is due for test on Monday the 13 May. I will put a picture of that bike next week. Meanwhile click and enjoy!!
Not much radio for the moment. I have worked around 20 FOC and I will apply for a golden award in due time.
Sun is shining from a clear sky and temperature is around 20 C (!) (about 68 F). Summer? No, I don't think so yet. The weather prediction is threaten with some rain and TS. Anyway I will go out and have a cup of coffee in the garden.
Take care!

New IOTA and DXCC received.
Today the mailman brought QSL from St. Peter & St. Paul Rocks. Call used was PT0S and worked on 160 m, 80 m, 30 m, 20 m and 10 m CW and SSB. But I've got it confirmed on LoTW a while ago.
Nice front and backside on the card.
Amazing place to operate radio from. And an amazing effort from the team to bring all of us a new one. THANKS!!!!
So my IOTA is up one more point.
There is a lot of stations using the suffix FOC. I have worked a few and I have a score of 60 points. So I will apply for the golden award in due time. It is the FOC (First Class CW Operators' Club) that is celebrating 75 years of activity. Work as many as you can! Great fun and good operators.
