Here are scans of the QSLcards I got direct from R6AF last week. I used OQRS via Clublog. All 3 were new iota's confirmed. DU and 9M2 were also islands not worked before. Thank you for the qsoes and the qslcards.

Contesting,
Diploma,
Hamradio.
Some time during last week I got a big envelope in the mail. I had noe clue as to what it was, but when I opened it, I got this diploma. #1 in Norway, but I think I was the only participant. I worked around 500 qsoes just for fun in that contest.
Thank you to all for calling me and giving me a few hours of pile-up and fun. Thank you also to the people organizing the contest!

I've seen VK5CE/P from OC-261 spotted at times, but most of the time only on SSB. So I haven't bothered too much with checking out the signal and I haven't been on at the right time.
However, today I noticed him being spotted on 20M SSB at the time I was in the front of the radio. I tuned in and checked, but I could not hear a thing. I was listening for several minutes without even a tiny whisper. Right when I was about to check the band for other VK's to check conditions, he was back on the frequency with a good signal. After just a few calls he was logged easily for a new iota. Thank you very much for the contact and a new iota Craig!
Listen to his signal below and read his blog here.

After my last report I have worked a few more contacts.
On August 5th I worked RT9K/P on 20M CW from AS-109.
On August 6th I worked RT9K/P and XV2JJ on 30M CW.
On August 8th I worked SQ9BDB/1 on 40M SSB from EU-132 and R20RRC/8 on 40M CW from AS-109. I also worked V5/DK9IP on 40M CW for a new one on 40M.
On August 9th I worked TM0SM on 15M CW from EU-081 for a new iota. On 6M I worked LA/SP7VC from KQ21, SM5EPO/2 from JP97 and EI9E/P from IO55 for 3 new gridsquares.
On August 10th I managed to work NE1RD/1 on 17M SSB from NA-148 for a new iota. He was very weak, but I kept listening to his frequency and he came enough to make a contact.
On August 11th I worked LA/SP7VC again on 6M, this time from KQ00, which was a new gridsquare. In the evening I noticed a spot for PY7RP/P on 15M SSB. He was operating from iota SA-046. At first I didn't hear him, but then he appeared and I managed to work him for yet another new iota.
