I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2012 with lots of DX in your log.

While searching for my own callsign on Google, I came across a few soundclips of myself that I hadn't heard before. The one from LZ2STO is quite interesting. In that opening, I worked 4 x YU stations on aurora. It was not aurora all the way, it was an ES to aurora link active at that time.

The second one made by G3TCT, was from one of the best aurora openings I've experienced on 6M.

Listen to both of them below.

Soundclips:

What a nice surprise today. I got YK9A confirmed on LoTW. The contact was made back in 2001 on 20M RTTY. That makes #298 on LoTW only. Other nice confirmations has been EL2A on 10/15/20 CW, ZF2OE 12M RTTY, VP2MWG 15M CW, T32C contacts has started to show up, HQ5X 10M CW, ZK1EFD 17M CW South Cook from 2001 and lots of other contacts both LA8AJA and JW8AJA. I'll do another LoTW stats for both calls early next year.

Only a few soundclips in November. Radioactivity has been low. Enjoy.

Soundclips:

• E51MAN 30M CW
• ZD8ZZ 30M CW
• LN3Z 10M CW – CQWW CW, nice backscatter
• LN8W 10M CW – CQWW CW, nice backscatter

As I wrote in my last post, I worked SU9VB on 30M. I got him confirmed on LoTW yesterday for #297 on LoTW. I've only worked 2 contacts since my last post. OH5LID was on yet another trip. This time it was in NAC 6M and I worked him from KP40 for a new grid on 6M. E51MAN Bill from North Cook, was worked on 30M CW for a new one on 30M. Hopefully Bill will upload his log to LoTW to give me a new one there.
