ABOUT THIS

This blog is about my activities on amateur radio from my retirement location in Qulin, MO. I am active on 80m thru 6m (with the exception of 60m) with 95+% utilizing the digital FT4 and FT8 modes (FTx)
I upload to LoTW and Club Log at the end of every session on the air. I QSL 100% for all non-W/VE QSO's via the bureau - which I do once a year. W/VE are replied to direct - NO SASE required but appreciated. I do not upload to eQSL or QRZ.com

Blog Updates

 I have made the following changes to the blog:

  1. Removed the Super Fox Keys issue list and the description of them.  They have either not updated them at the NCDXF site (the issuers), or no one is requesting them.  Most of the expeditions are using MSHV it seems.  So, in order to free up some additional space, I deleted them.  I retained the link to the NCDXF listing so you can check them if you are so inclined.
  2. The Project RETRO page is up and running.  Note that it is not a listing of DXCC band needs, but a matrix showing my legacy worked but unconfirmed.
  3. I have gone back and added labels to all of the blog postings in case you want to home in on a specific topic.  I did also delete a couple of posts that were superfluous.
And for some upcoming previews - I will be reviewing some software that is (IMHO) of significant use in FTx DXing, as well as some hints, trick, and tips to maximize your entity count in pursuit of your DXCC(s).  And there will also be some contesting tips as well.
