A week on the bands

Posted on by

It’s been a busy week (for me anyway).

For a while I had the notion in my head “to try to make one contact at least every day”. So since Sunday I have tried.

During most evenings I will have the radio on the 2m calling channel, but do little else in the way of making contacts.

So back to this week. Since Sunday I have made a contact every day, and where possible on HF. This does not include regular local nets.

  • GB2TOL – Sunday was a Special Event station. Was on 2m at the Tower of London.
  • OM7CW – Monday 20m SSB to Slovak Republic
  • HB0/PA0ABM & HB0/N6OX Tuesday 2x 40m SSB to Liechtenstein
  • SZ2TSL – Wednesday 20m SSB to Greece
  • TA3D – Thursday 20m SSB to Turkey
  • LA1VNA – Friday 20SSB to Norway
  • M3WOJ – Saturday’s new contact was slightly different. Was 2m FM, but was first time I had spoken to a Scout I had helped train at local club and was proud to add him to log.

What will the next 7 days bring??? Only the DX gods know the answer to this.

  1. First off well done Paul, nice to finally see you working more on HF! I managed to work 17 qsos this week! mostly RTTY/PSK31.

    Remember you can always pickup a lot of qsos during contests IARU HF Champ is coming up next month.
