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

This Week In DX - 8/17 Thru 8/24

  • Have trimmed this posting format down for this week and the next.  Starting in September, there will be a running post pinned that will run for the entire month.
  • Working the T8 was a very nice surprise Wednesday morning - given the poor solar numbers.
  • Two new ones confirmed on 30m as well - now at 114 worked / 96 confirmed on that band.  30m has basically caught up with 12m based on the numbers worked / confirmed.
