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

Weekly Update - 7-22-2025

 I think I will try this again, but in a simpler format!

1)  This week I added a couple of points to the DX Marathon score.  I have surpassed what I thought I would get in total this year.  I now think I could hit 170-175 by the end of the year if I am lucky.

2)  Worked a couple of new ones on 30m as well as confirming a couple as well.  

3)  Confirmed one on 15m this week also.

4)  Definitely in the "summer DX lull" but have been pretty productive with greyline propagation.   Will continue that for ne next month or so.  Midafternoon is the WORST time for 20.

5)  Highlight of the week was working the Kazakstan station - a long time coming to rework that one.  Hope the confirmation comes soon.  Really looking forward to that one!
