Over winter break I have been putting in a lot of time behind the radio. Here’s the wrap up:<\/p>\n Over winter break I have been putting in a lot of time behind the radio. Here’s the wrap up:<\/p>\n
First – more DX. In general, this is a good time of year to catch hams behind their rigs. Some contacts that I am particularly proud of:<\/p>\n
4U1WB, The World Bank in Washington D.C.
\nZD7DL, St Helena Island
\nWH6S, Kauai
\nC5YK, The Gambia
\n9H5BZ, Malta
\nMI5AFK, Northern Ireland
\nFG5GP, the island of Guadeloupe
\nZS6TVB, South Africa
\nEA8DAZ, Canary Islands
\nVP2ETE, Anguilla<\/p>\n
Second – working a lot of DX. There is the 90th anniversary of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) special event<\/a> activations. Plenty of good DX participating in this and working multiple bands.<\/p>\n Cuba Third – working Santa (aka AA4EE) on Christmas Eve. The girls really enjoyed telling Santa what they wanted. Thank you Santa!<\/p>\n Four – joining the OMISS<\/a> and the 3905 Century Club<\/a> nets. I am not sure if I fully understand these nets. I get the convenience in pursuing Worked All States awards. That makes sense. However each club also has an additional bevy of other types of awards. The actual contacts during the nets seem a bit unfulfilling. But I may not yet fully understand these nets. I need to thoroughly read all the literature.<\/p>\n Five – Log of the World: I have uploaded the vast majority of my logs. I mentioned before about uploading my YI9MI logs. I also went back and uploaded my log from KD7PJQ back in Virginia. The logs from Korea (HL2\/AD7MI and HL9MI) are now uploaded. All my logs using AD7MI have been uploaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over winter break I have been putting in a lot of time behind the radio.
