CQ DX Awards now accepting eqsl.cc confirmations


Posted: January 16th, 2009 under Diploma.

Having fun on 40M

3B8CF on 40M and UK9AA on RTTY


Posted: January 5th, 2009 under DX, Hamradio, RTTY, Soundclips.

Just a very small report this time. No E44M in the log yet, though I have worked E4 on many bands before. I would like to work them on RTTY, and did have a listen on Friday, but I couldn’t hear them. However, UK9AA was on 30M RTTY at the same time as E44M. I worked him […]
