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

Yesterday Was A Good & Bad Day For DX

 Yesterday was definitely a mixed bag for DX 9and HF in general.  Band conditions were in the proverbial toilet! Weak overall signal strengths, lots of noise, and really deep QSB.  I shut everything down around 1300 local it was so bad.

On the good side I got JT, EW, and YN all confirmed in LotW.  As far as LotW is concerned, that now gives me 97 confirmed on 30m, 148 confirmed on 20m, and 85 confirmed on 17m.  12m is still showing 97 confirmed.
