With TZ4AM, Mali, I'm now at 227 confirmed countries.
Blog of a DX-hunter from the capital of Belgium, attempting to reach the top of DXCC with vertical and wire antennas, 100W (usually less), a lot of patience and little spare time

The Jewel for telegraphists
Many years ago, when I was still living in Turin, an extraordinary OM, Salvatore IK1OJM, hand-made for me this excellent key.
Being a digital mode fan, I haven't exploited it enough.
This key deserves spending more time on CW! From now on, I will use it at least for one QSO per week. At least until when I will reach a contest speed, to exploit it even more.

Missing only AK and HI for my JT65 WAS
I have finally received a LOTW confirmation for a qso with NZ7M, my first and only JT65 contact with MT.
Now only AK and HI missing for my JT65 WAS.
If it happens that you read this blog, you are in AK and HI and you are active in JT65, pls send me a mail to on8vm@uba.be for a sked.Monday, September 5, 2016
Great improvement in JT65 software: WSJT-X enhanced by UA3DJY (JTDX v16.4)
Testing since few days a new JT65 software: an enhanced version of WSJT-X 1.7.0-devel, made by UA3DJY. The best JT65 software I've tried so far!
The latest version is available here.

Interesting developments on a cheap DMR radio
Take a look at the article on hackaday.com and va3xpr.net about the reverse engineering and a new firmware for the TYT MD-380.

Still 5 countries to be confirmed to reach the "100" threshold on 40m
On 10, 15 and 20m is done. Still need 5 confirmed countries to reach 100 on 40m.
Once the new wire antenna will be in place, it will be time to increase the score on 80m!
