According to this link and other sources, the IC-7600 should be out in mid April. The list price is set at 4876$. Click here to read my earlier post which contains more info about the radio. The pdf brochure is also out. Get it here.
While searching google to see if something interesting popped up on my JW8AJA callsign, I came across 2 soundclips of me. One is from 2002 on 17M CW. I was operating with a paddle and a keyer and writing paperlogs back then. The second is from my second trip to JW in 2006. This time on 40M CW and with pc-keying.
Listen to them here:

Yesterday, K5D went qrt with 115,728 qso’es in the log. Guess that will take care of Desecheo Island on the most wanted list for a while. I managed 4 qso’es with them, and I’m happy with that. More bands are always welcome, but that’s not always possible. The goal was to get them in the log.
They have also opened their Online QSL Request System (OQRS), which can be found here.
You can request your K5D QSL one of four ways:
Now on the the next one…
I Worked 2 new ones on RTTY. On Friday, I got J5UAP on 40M RTTY and on Saturday I got K5D on 30M RTTY. That brings my RTTY total to 179. J5UAP was also new on 40M (#229). I worked about 50 QSO’es in the ARRL contest this weekend, which gave me 2 new states on 40M. I worked Alabama and Nevada, total now is #37. On Monday I got ET3JA on 30M (#240) CW. He had a solid signal here and was easily worked. Conditions were good south-west and VQ9RD was worked on 40M with a solid signal. VQ9JC Jim, was worked on 30M for a second band. 3B8CF was also heard CQ’ing on 30M, but I have worked him before.

Log is updated on LoTW. I got one new with ER0FEO, that makes 214.
Finally. It’s here. I’ve been planning this card for a long time. I have always wanted a picturecard, and finally with help from several friends, it has now become a reality. The picturecard will be used for direct cards. The other card will be used for bureau cards. There are 6 people who are waiting for my direct card, and they have waited for a while. I am very sorry for the delay, but I hope it is worth the wait.
The printer I chose to use, was UX5UO print. Take a look here if you are planning to print some cards yourself. Gennady was very helpful in every step of the way. Thank you Gennady. Take a look at my new card below.
Do you like the card?
