10/04/2016: Impressive propagation to US

After many weeks of poor propagation, 20m tonight are wide open towards US.

Finally at least one qso with FT4JA

ATNO! Finally a QSO with FT4JA

Super good conditions tonight with US on 20m/JT65

Good conditions on 20m tonight: plenty of US stations listening to my signal in JT65.

216 confirmed with 3X

4 QSOs, CW and SSB, with 3XY1T.
With this ATNO, I'm now at 216 confirmed.

Nice opening on 17M to the West Coast

A -01 report from W7PP in AZ.
Excellent opening tonight on 17M!

VP8SGI and VP8STI confirmed via LOTW!

VP8STI and VP8SGI both confirmed via LOTW!!

215 confirmed.

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!

Also VP8SGI! And again on 17m/CW

Excellent CW operator, probably the same of the QSO with VP8STI.

VP8STI: 17m/CW with vertical and 100W

Tried also on 20m/CW.
One QSO, an ATNO for me, is better than nothing.

Marvellous site for CW training: http://lcwo.net/ (TNX Michel ON6MH)

Trying to improve CW speed and this site can provide a big help: http://lcwo.net/

EP6T: QSO deze morgen op 10m SSB

QSO on 10m SSB: the operator at EP6T was only calling "nederlands talige" and "luisteren" 500.
An Italian, with a modest Dutch, passed on a big European pile-up as "nederlands talige". Funny!

10.123/EP6T: big pileup and small signal

DXCC score on Jan 19th 2015
