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 - 8/4 Thru 8/11

Here is this week's synopsis of what I was able to work.  It seems that the tree removal did help the signals a little bit - and any improvement is OK in my opinion.

Band conditions were pretty poor this week, but was unable to really get on the air until Wednesday.  Saturday started off ugly with a geomagnetic storm.  It went thru Sunday as well.  The best thing was of the four new ones worked, three have already confirmed - and an ATNO was worked.

Revamped the format just a bit and added WAZ to the list as well.
