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

Comments:

Been working a bunch of unconfirmed entities that I have worked within the past year or so, which is good as I may be able to finally cross the off of the list.

HF was in horrible shape Friday - only a half dozen stations on the waterfall around noon time!  Band is a bit better Saturday, but not by much.  the first part of the week was decent, but it tapered off quickly.
